Questions?

You can start chatting with Liz before you get started.

As responsibilities grow and challenges become more complex, even the most capable professionals can find themselves dreading the work they should be excited about. After more than 20 years as a senior leader in organisations big and small including Amazon and Monitor Deloitte, I've lived this experience and helped many others overcome it. The higher you climb, the fewer people you have to talk through challenges with. What I realised, both from my own experience and from working with other leaders, is that skills and knowledge aren’t enough. We need space to examine what's holding us back and find the best path forward. Later on, as a strategic advisor and consultant, I discovered that while my clients often needed expert advice, they also needed something else entirely: a thinking partner for processing challenges, exploring options, and making decisions with confidence. As I found myself drawn to creating that space rather than simply providing answers, I realised I wanted to coach, not just advise. My approach is simple: You already have what you need to succeed. Together, we'll create the space to uncover it, challenge what's not serving you, and help you step confidently into the impact you're capable of making.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I believe that people seldom struggle in their careers because of lack of knowledge or ability. Rather, it's an inability to get out of their own way. Whenever I faced my own professional struggles, I thought I just needed to work harder or be smarter. However I learned over time that self awareness and a clearer understanding of my environment were the missing ingredient. I coach because I love helping others make the most of their talent and drive by helping them unlock the insight and understanding needed to thrive professionally.

Senior Manager

Amazon

July 2008 - December 2018

Interviewer

Over ten years’ experience launching, leading, and scaling consumer e-commerce businesses, during which time Amazon UK grew from less than $3BN to over $14BN in annual net sales. Gained deep expertise in fresh food, last mile delivery, fashion, and media and most recently expanded Amazon Restaurants into the UK’s highly competitive food delivery landscape, simultaneously doubling conversion and slashing operational costs in a drive towards profitability. Earlier in my Amazon career I held leadership positions in several parts of the UK Consumer business in both nascent and established categories. At Amazon Local I led the Operations team of six distinct functions through a period of rapid headcount growth, doubling the size of the team in six months and reorganising it for scale. As the Head of Buying in Fashion I drove the selection strategy with a focus on premium denim and secured high profile denim brands Levi’s and Seven for all Mankind while revamping the seasonal planning and buying cycle to bring Amazon in line with the high street. I spent my first four years developing foundations in Amazon’s world-class strategic, operational, and analytical rigour in mature media categories, leading pricing strategy, product management, merchandising, and marketing in DVD and Video Games. Key areas of focus were competitor price matching strategy, launch planning for promotions and major new releases, and international expansion of features and services such as Video Games Trade-In. In 2018 I chaired the UK Bar Raiser Program which sets the standard for excellence in interviewing and making hiring decisions across the Consumer side of Amazon UK. Under my leadership the program achieved diversity targets and implemented a new process to more efficiently train and graduate new Bar Raisers.
