As a Certified International Negotiator (CIN), Civil & Commercial Mediator, and experienced Project Management Consultant, I bring a powerful blend of commercial strategy, conflict resolution, and cross-border leadership to every engagement. With a foundation in investment banking, I now consult internationally—advising organizations on complex project delivery, particularly within the banking and financial services sector. I specialize in navigating stakeholder dynamics, resolving conflict, and aligning teams behind strategic objectives. My consulting work is grounded in over a decade of banking experience, where I led large-scale projects, high-stakes negotiations, and transformation initiatives. In 2010, I became the youngest-ever Executive Director at a leading London investment bank—an achievement that reflects my drive, leadership, and ability to perform under pressure. Now based in the Bahamas and working internationally, I help clients across industries: Deliver or rescue high-risk projects Resolve internal and external stakeholder conflicts Manage culturally complex or politically sensitive negotiations Translate strategy into execution with clarity and confidence My skillset is further enhanced by training in criminal psychology, equipping me with deep insights into human behavior, decision-making, and conflict dynamics. Whether navigating boardroom negotiations or project disputes, I bring emotional intelligence and sharp commercial thinking to the table. I also lead Isla & Me, an award-winning organic skincare brand for mums—channelling my entrepreneurial spirit into building conscious, purpose-driven ventures. 🌍From the UK, Based in The Bahamas | Working Internationally | Banking | Project Consulting | Mediation & NegotiationMore...
