DPA Leadership

"The Women in Food & Drink awards are important because they shine a light on the outstanding contribution women make across the food industry through innovation, leadership and impact. They celebrate female talent and inspire the next generation of leaders, raising visibility in a sector where women are still under-represented at senior levels."

Dee is an Executive Coach and Leadership Consultant working with senior leaders in high-pressure roles, helping them thrive instead of burning out. She brings extensive experience from the food industry, spanning retail, manufacturing, start-ups and global food-tech organisations, including HelloFresh. Her background includes senior roles across strategy, innovation, and leading in fast-paced, complex environments. Now, Dee helps leaders achieve sustainable high performance by shifting how they think, feel and show up, not just what they do. Her work supports leaders to build resilience, engage teams and deliver long-term business results.
