Emma’s early HR career spread across the Chemical, Pharmaceutical and FMCG sectors, culminating in the role of VP of HR for Frito-Lay (Pepsi). The experience she gained whilst progressing executives to senior leadership roles, combined with her deep knowledge of the essential psychological principles of how leaders can thrive, informs her approach. Over the past 15 years, Emma’s clients have included organisations from the FTSE 100, the VC market and the Public Sector.
