I was born and brought up in London and I stayed in London for University – studying International Relations at the London School of Economics. After graduation I went to work for Deloitte where I worked as an auditor and trained to be a Chartered Accountant. After a short stint at Marks & Spencer, I moved to Hilton with my first role working in the finance team for Continental Europe. Over the years I have done various roles within finance and was promoted to the role of VP Finance for EMEA in 2020. I started in my current role as VP Finance for MEA in 2023, moving with my family to Dubai. I have a husband and 2 children aged 14 and 18. As a family, we really love to travel and have visited over 30 countries together.
