After an accomplished operational career at the BBC, she joined BBC R&D in 2020 and quickly became a catalyst for cross-organisational collaboration.

She now brings her expertise directly to organisations through her consultancy, KAURWAVE Ltd, where she remains available to support teams seeking guidance on emerging technologies, innovation strategy, and the future of media production.
