“I worked with Julie in the past on the development of a Leadership program (Improve your Personal Leadership). Julie was a fantastic partner, deeply committed to the learning of the participants, very well read and articulate on the topic, great at planning and incredibly organised! The course received very high results and tremendous feedback.”
— Maria Farrow, VP HR Kelloggs
“Julie has been my direct line manager for the past 6 years in her role as Pet Specialty Sales Director.
I've seen her not only excel at the core elements of her job, such as people and budget management, but also excel at developing her people to get very best performance from them. Allowing her direct reports the trust to 'do the right thing' fostered an entrepreneurial environment allowing targets to be met and exceeded where possible. Another key skill is her ability to not only accept change but anticipate it and enrol her direct reports to make the most of the new situation. This was demonstrated during the recent sale of the P&G Pet Care business where Julie led her team through a very challenging period at the same time maintaining positive moral and achieving results. Julie also has a remarkable ability to simplify complex auditing process to drive key P&L results with full regard to SOX. I would also call out her key training skills, especially her Leadership courses where Julie has been recognised at high levels for the quality and content of her tuition and delivery.
Julie is a first class people manager who cares very much about her people and business. I've been extremely privileged to have worked for her over the last few years.”

“I worked both for and alongside Julie across several years at Procter & Gamble. You cannot ask for a better people manager. She strives to get the absolute best out of her teams whilst ensuring she doesn't take her eye of the business. She is the sort of person that you can rely on to get a "lot of stuff done". She is both strategic and very hands one when running her businesses. I loved working for Julie as you always knew that she was working very hard for both her people and the business.”
— Rachel Dingwall, Asbicon Global Learning
“I have worked with Julie for the past two years but have known her professionally for many years. Julie is a fantastic people manager, always focused on supporting, coaching and developing her team. Her passion for people also shines through in her learning and development programme that she runs and champions through the business. As well as her strong relationships internally, Julie is an excellent collaborator with external partners enabling her to meet and exceed her targets. Julie is a great strategic thinker and always strives to find new and different approaches to problem solving.”
— Helen Blyde, Commercial Director Spectrum Brands
“I’ve worked with Julie for over 15 years at P&G and more recently at ZEISS. Julie is a savvy commercial manager and a phenomenal people manager who always supports and develops her team. Julie is also a fantastic coach and mentor to everyone she works with. Julie is a highly accomplished trainer with a significant reputation for delivering exceptional courses on leadership and many other competencies. I highly recommend Julie and have huge respect for her professional, engaging approach.”
