MY TYPICAL DAY…

Begins on the train to London – it’s an hour and 40 minutes and I work on the journey. I do this three days a week and work remotely the rest of the time. I am a big advocate for remote working; I don’t see how you can feel creative in the same seat every day. My days are back-to-back meetings, yesterday I had 12 and it’s usually at least eight.

A big part of my job is sharing my network with the company. Take Black Girl Festival, for instance [the UK’s first festival celebrating black British women], that’s an example of a business I’d love us to partner with. Another is the photographer Francis Augusto, who I suggested for a project we did; he dazzled so many people in the organisation that they want to work with him on lots of different things off the back of that.

Lunch is usually a meeting with an industry colleague. I love the Peruvian restaurant Señor Ceviche.

In the afternoon, I tend to check in with the people I report to, then I’ll see how our employee networks are doing. These include BAME, LGBTQ+, parents’ and women’s groups and encompass mentoring and events. I try to leave at 6pm.
