I successfully completed a four-month Sustainability Leadership Programme focused on creating and embedding sustainability transformation strategies within organisations. 

This executive leadership programme addressed finance, strategy, and the importance of embedding a sustainability mindset across organisations to help them build lasting economic value whilst delivering positive environmental and social impact.       

I was privileged to be part of the cohort of international leaders studying the Executive Management Programme at Henley Business School. 

This two-week residential advanced management programme focused on leading in a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (known as VUCA). The course also incorporated a real-life consultancy assignment.        

I was fortunate to attend a residential course at Sunningdale's National School of Government when I joined the Civil Service. 

The School, which closed in 2012, was established in 1970 as The Civil Service College and Centre for Management and Policy Studies.  

I studied international business at the European School of Advanced Management in Paris for six months as part of the ERASMUS university exchange programme. 

Studies focused on management and finance in a European and International context. All lessons were delivered in French.

I graduated in Business Information Management with French from Leeds Beckett University. The four-year sandwich course focused on business, marketing, communications, and information technology within a management context. 

The course also incorporated a one-year work placement in a French speaking country. I secured a role in Corsica.
