Her career has spanned technology, communications, entrepreneurship and economic development. She founded award-winning PR and marketing consultancy cofinitive and the #21toWatch Technology Innovation Awards (both acquired in 2024), and has supported entrepreneurs and growing businesses through a range of mentoring, advisory and leadership roles.
