She transitioned her career to Search in the mid 90s, at the time she was bringing up her young family, working with boards and excos of a wide variety of organisations to help find them technology leaders to further their business objectives. Having been one of the founding partners of Savannah Group, she helped build the company to what it is today, always with a focus on creating a diverse workforce which is critical to any business success.
