From standards to standout

I joined Dyson in 2018 as a Senior Safety Engineer, driven by a deep-rooted passion for technical safety and a curiosity about how things could be done better. Since then, my journey has evolved into something far greater than I imagined—today, I lead the product safety and risk management team globally.

In this role, I’ve focused on building strong foundations: streamlining our processes, shaping new ways of working, and introducing frameworks that enable efficient, scalable, and consistent safety practices across the business. These efforts have not only improved how we operate, but have been recognised and supported by senior stakeholders over the years—proof that change, when done well, creates real impact.

A key part of my development has been the guidance I’ve received along the way. Working closely with two exceptional mentors at Dyson has shaped how I lead and solve problems. Their perspectives helped me build confidence, push boundaries, and lead with intent.

What I’m incredibly proud of, though, is the team I’ve had the privilege to build. Watching them grow into a high-performing, collaborative group that delivers with purpose and consistency has been incredibly rewarding. Their work continues to get recognition and earn trust across functions—and that speaks volumes.

Dyson has also given me the space to grow. A management course last year helped sharpen my approach to leadership, teaching me how to flex my style to bring out the best in others and enhance my ability to support diverse teams. Overall it’s made me a more considered, adaptive leader—and a better partner to the teams I work with.

If I had one piece of advice? Hold onto your ambitions. The road might not always be smooth nor linear, but if you stay focused on your goals, the challenges along the way become lessons—not roadblocks.
