She is a former Partner of Linklaters LLP, where she was the long-standing head of the firm's Transport sector and its Asset Finance practice.

"For so many of us alumni, the UWC experience has been a transformative one - both in terms of outlook and relationships, and in terms of learning and opportunities. I am thrilled to now be able to make a contribution to the UWC movement."
