STEPHANIE'S JOURNEY

From lawyer to leader, Stephanie now elevates women in the workplace

After graduating from a top three UK law school, she spent more than 10 years as an in-house lawyer at MTV and Channel 4, working on high profile projects including the MTV Music Awards, Apple iTunes and Stand Up to Cancer.

 

Following a period of deep personal introspection, Stephanie realised that working on the people side of business brought her more joy and fulfilment. Fueled by this sense of purpose, she left her law career to focus on developing individuals in the workplace.

 

After training in modalities such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Transformational Facilitation, and Certified Coaching, she spent six years helping high profile organisations including Network Rail, Dentons, Fieldfisher and Barclays with communication, relationship and leadership skills.

 

This work highlighted a profound problem: not enough women were rising to the top. And when a woman did earn her place in the boardroom, it often meant enduring an elaborate obstacle course and assuming an ‘alpha’ persona. Not only did this leave her feeling depleted and disconnected from her colleagues, it wasn’t sustainable. Brilliant women were burning out, or leaving altogether.

 

Stephanie wanted to transform this rocky landscape. She knew that having more women leaders was good for business, good for society and ultimately good for the world. With unshakable conviction, she honed in on improving gender balance in the corporate world.

​

Stephanie now helps organisations to support their women in order to empower a paradigm shift in parity, profit and performance. As a sought-after speaker, she shares her insights at conferences and events across Europe.

 

Stephanie is a true woman of the world. Proud of her Venezuelan, American, Scottish and Irish heritage she has been lucky to live in Brazil, Geneva and her current home, London. She finds balance through travel, dynamic yoga and 5Rhythms.
