BIO

After 15 years of consulting for global organisations, I made a life-changing decision to leave my career & start a business. It was a leap of faith that launched me into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. I immersed myself in personal growth, studying human behaviour, metaphysics, Reiki and NLP. What began as curiosity grew into an obsession—and through this transformative journey, I discovered two life-changing principles: the power of emotional resilience and clarity of a personal path. These principles didn’t just shift my perspective; they redefined my purpose & became the foundation of my work. Now, as a mentor and speaker, I help people master their emotions & make decisions aligned with their values and vision—guiding them to break free from limitations and reach their full potential.

“Rewiring Real Estate – How FM Unlocks Asset Value and Strategy”

FM and engineering teams focus on operational efficiency, compliance, and technical performance, but may not fully appreciate how their work directly impacts asset value, capital planning, and ultimately the financial health and strategic direction of the organisation. The presentation will challenge attendees to think beyond the day-to-day technicalities of FM and consider the broader business impact.

  • The FM value chain: how FM feeds into capital planning, which affects asset condition / value, which impacts P&L / longer term property strategy
  • Missed opportunities: lack of integration between FM and wider real estate strategy
  • Breaking down silos: shared objectives between FM, Property and Finance
  • The role of technology: how digital tools help bridge this gap
  • Call to action: what practical steps can be taken to elevate the role of FM in shaping asset and organisational value
