About

I lead our gender and ethnicity pay gap reporting services in the UK and Ireland and according to the Financial Times, I am an "expert" on gender pay gap reporting.

I help employers from all sectors - but particularly advertising, technology, retail and professional services - with all aspects of pay gap reporting.

I have years of experience at getting to the root causes of a pay gap and helping employers understand where, and how much, they need to change gender diversity to improve their gaps. I work with clients to carry out targeted interrogations of data, hypothesis testing, and tests against a range of additional statistics, so I can find where gaps are coming from I can help clients identify specific targeted measures that will have a meaningful impact on workplace diversity and reduce their gender pay gaps.

I also have a Masters degree in Statistics
