The John Lewis Partnership was founded as a vision of an industrial democracy where employees (Partners) share profit, knowledge and power. Given the economic, technological and societal pressures on the retail sector, to be able to sustain this vision into the future will require a deeper and broader focus on productivity, harnessing the ability of Partners to achieve better outcomes in terms of sales and profits per Partner than we have ever achieved before. As a senior leader in the Partnership, with responsibility for the profitability of Waitrose operations, this is a challenge I consider every day.

I am at my happiest when outdoors and preferably up a mountain. I put it down to being born in the Lake District! I enjoy running, swimming and cycling through the year and usually manage to go snowboarding a couple of times a year in the winter.

I am a lecturer in Nutrition and Dietetics at King’s College London and I also run a business giving private clients access to some of the UK’s best dietitians in our central London clinic. I worked for many years in the NHS before moving to a career in lecturing and research and private practice. My clinical work focuses on the treatment of medical conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome and helping with weight management problems. My research focus is on the nutritional consequences of gastrointestinal surgery. I work with companies and individuals to improve health and wellness in the work place which is something I am passionate about improving at a strategic level. I am an advocate for evidence based nutrition and am regularly in the national and international media offering scientific credibility nutritional information.
