From 2013-2018, I was a non-executive director of N. Brown Group PLC, a leading United Kingdom clothing, footwear and household goods retailer, where I chaired both the Remuneration and Corporate Social Responsibility Committees.

I joined MPC in 2018, where I lead the company’s Human Resources function. Most recently, I served as chief Human Resources officer at Andeavor.

My latter responsibilities at Unilever were as executive vice president global Human Resources based in London; and as senior vice president, Human Resources and Communications for Unilever’s North and Latin American geographies.
