I am a talent identification and retention professional with five years’ specialist experience, built on nearly three decades of senior leadership in law and public affairs. This unique background equips me with exceptional transferable skills — from strategic communication and regulatory expertise to reputational management — which I bring to the modern football environment.
As a registered Premier League scout and certified PFSA member, I have a proven track record of identifying and retaining talent within a Category 1 academy environment. I combine technical, tactical, and psychological profiling with a welfare-first approach, guiding young players and their families through structured development pathways.
I hold the FA Level 3 in Advanced Principles of Talent Identification & Development, a club performance analysis certification (ISPAS), and a diploma in child mental health and wellbeing, and was selected for the inaugural Premier League’s Future Academy Leaders Programme during the 2023/24 season. I am passionate about delivering long-term player success while championing equality, diversity, and inclusion in the game.
