About Danielle
My background is as a senior executive leader at WPP, one of the world's largest advertising organisations, where I spent over twenty years leading in fast paced, high performance environments, including running my own business within their £3.5bn UK organisation.
That experience gave me first hand insight into the complexity of leadership, the pressure of senior roles, and the particular challenges many women navigate across leadership, career, business, and life.
Today, I bring that experience together with my work as an executive and leadership coach, combining deep coaching expertise with strategic, commercial, and real world leadership perspective. I have coached hundreds of senior women, executives, CEOs and founders, partnering with organisations including Flutter and Dyson, and privately coaching senior leaders across organisations including the BBC, Accenture and Barclays.
I am a professional coach, accredited by the ICF and EMCC in transformational coaching, professional coaching and development, and executive coaching.
My approach is warm, empathetic, and deeply supportive, while also being strategic, direct, and challenging where needed. I care deeply about the women I work with and the work we do together. My role is not only to support, but to help clients think bigger, see more clearly, and move forward with greater confidence, self trust, and impact.
How I Work
Coaching with me is a partnership, shaped entirely around you, moving between coach, sounding board and strategic partner, depending on what you need. I create a confidential space where you can step back, think clearly and work through the leadership, career or business questions that matter most.
Our work together is shaped around your context, your goals and the support that will make the biggest difference. We may focus on live leadership situations, confidence and self trust, stakeholder dynamics, visibility, career direction, business growth or the decisions shaping your next stage.
I work with senior leaders, executives and founders who want depth, honesty and practical progress. Where useful, I also bring an advisory lens, drawing on my commercial and leadership background, so the work is not just reflective, it's connected to the real rooms, relationships, pressures and decisions you are navigating.
The value is in the combination: deeper insight, sharper thinking, stronger decisions and practical action that supports your leadership, career or business in a meaningful way.
The Impact of Working Together
Clients don't just see change in the moment, they see it hold. Many continue to work with me for years, coming back as their role, business or challenges evolve, which is often the clearest sign of the difference the work has made. If it would help, I'm happy to put you in touch with clients who are open to speaking about their experience directly.
Just some of what this drives:
Confidence, self trust and moving beyond imposter beliefs
Strategic clarity and stronger, faster decision making
Stronger influence with senior stakeholders and boards
Navigating difficult conversations with confidence
Steadier leadership through complexity, change and transition
Progression into more senior, C-suite or board level roles
Greater visibility and positioning at a senior level
Stronger commercial decisions and confidence to grow the business
That reuses the same proven outcome bullets from the other pages for consistency, but the framing here is distinct, built
What clients say
“Working with Danielle over the past six months has been nothing short of transformational. As a business owner entering a new phase of growth and development, I was overwhelmed, stretched in multiple directions, and stepping into deep, unfamiliar waters. Together, we explored so many different aspects of the business, from recruitment and team dynamics to marketing strategy, tech development, and securing new premises. Danielle met me exactly where I was each time and helped me develop clarity, resilience and confidence while strengthening my leadership. Her coaching has been invaluable, and I genuinely do not think I would be where I am today without her.” - Melissa, Founder at Livve
