Knowledge manager with extensive private and public sector experience (E & Y, HM Treasury, PwC, Freshfields).
The people element of the job makes it worthwhile - the key to successful knowledge management is building strong relationships and understanding how people work.
I get great satisfaction in developing strategy rooted in business need, and then implementing it to deliver genuine business benefit.
I also enjoy working with communities - because each one is different.
