Our story

HR expertise that puts people first.

I founded Oliventine HR on a simple conviction: great organisations are built by great people, and the right HR partner makes the difference. Strategy alone rarely holds a business back. More often, the constraint is whether the right people, leadership and culture are in place and aligned to deliver it. I have spent my career at that intersection, across the full range of organisations: start-ups establishing themselves, private equity-backed businesses under pressure to deliver value, multi-disciplinary franchise networks balancing local autonomy with brand consistency, and global corporates where scale and complexity demand discipline. I understand what boards, investors and leadership teams need because I have been accountable for the same outcomes. First and foremost, I am an HR strategist but as and when required I have also fulfilled assignments in the positions of CEO, COO and Commercial Managing Director. That breadth allows me to see the whole picture quickly, anticipate the challenges of each stage of growth, and turn people strategy into commercial advantage. If you need an adviser who will work alongside your leadership team, challenge its thinking and help it deliver, Oliventine HR combines the expertise of an HR specialist with the judgement of a business leader.
