Specialist in global participant recruitment, supplier coordination, and multi-market fieldwork logistics.
I ensure your international research projects run smoothly, on time, and on budget.

About Me
Turning chaos into results one project at a time
I’m a hands-on senior project manager with 20 years experience making complex global projects run smoothly. I’ve managed projects for clients including Google, BBC, Nike, LEGO, Mattel, Mars, Spotify, and many more, coordinating global participant recruitment, suppliers, and fieldwork logistics to ensure everything runs on time and on budget.

I thrive on leading teams, managing suppliers, negotiating costs, and untangling tricky logistics - whatever it takes to keep a project on track. Over the years, I’ve built a huge network of global partners - recruiters, moderators, freelancers, and subject-matter experts so I can quickly bring the right people on board for any project. 

Clear communication, practical processes, and delivering results under pressure are my superpowers. The outcome? Projects that hit deadlines, stay on budget, and leave everyone confident and stress-free.
