Louisa relocated to Dubai in 2004, following her UK career in HR, consultancy and coaching and has since developed a business working with organisations across the Gulf - the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar in particular.  She is well equipped to help organisations in the turmoil of hectic growth as well as individuals trying to deal with ever-expanding roles, highly multi-cultural workforces and no work-life balance.

Her empathetic practical approach to coaching and assessment, allow Louisa to work with leaders in industries as diverse as airlines, construction, insurance and banking, oil, and gas. She has conducted assessment centres in Egypt and Saudi Arabia for a retail and manufacturing conglomerate and facilitated rebuilding relationships between non-trusting teams.  Her previous experiences of HR management with Hewlett-Packard, Mercer HR Consulting a London/Bahrain consultancy have contributed to making her leadership programmes, assessment events, and coaching highly business-focused, fast-paced and memorable.

Louisa qualified as a coach with Management Futures and has a Masters in Strategic Management from Bristol University. She is qualified as a Level A and B psychometric test practitioner as well as Myer Briggs Type Indicator Step 1 and 2.
