About MeI have over 13 years' experience of working as a trusted HR partner in financial and professional services. I worked for many years for the financial institution UBS, both in London and New York, and was involved in much of the restructuring that came about as a result of the global financial crisis. I have worked for the Nobel prize winning humanitarians Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders. I also regularly volunteer with the National Trust for Scotland in the Community Outreach Ranger team.
I am a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), have a BA in Architecture, an MA in Personnel & Development and a cycling proficiency badge that I wear with pride. |
Originally from the far north of Scotland, I love wild landscapes and lungfuls of fresh air, and after 20 years of living in London I recently made the move back north to Edinburgh. I thrive on a big, juicy challenge, and have pedalled the length of Africa from Cairo to Cape Town. As well as cycling, I love hiking in remote and spectacular locations, completing a through hike in Iceland's West Fjords during 2015's unseasonably cold spring. I have a dream to bike-pack the Silk Route from Beijing to Istanbul.
As well as thrashing around in the hills, I am a trained life coach and work on a 1:1 basis with mid-career professionals. I challenge them mentally and physically to help them identify their direction for the next stage of their professional and personal lives.

Sally-Anne is an experienced HR partner and professional who proved on a number of occasions the ability to get change implemented. Many talk about it, few can actually deliver - especially in complex matrix organisational structures. Her professionalism and energy to drive to completion are exemplary.” Trevor Hunt, Head of Global Programme Management, Columbia Threadneedle Investments |
Sally-Anne is very perceptive and can tease out things about a person that they may not have been aware of. She was very encouraging and supportive, and by the end of the day I had a greater understanding of my own values and motivators and an action plan to help me to achieve the things that I wanted in my life."
