I'm Lucy

DEVELOPER.

ADVISOR.

ENTREPRENEUR.

I combine Data and Technology with People Skills to transform businesses, build solutions and solve complex problems.

Who I am

I am a First-Generation, Low-Income (FGLI), Neurodivergent, Female Leader in Technology and Business.

My unconventional background, breadth of experience and eternally curious brain makes me great at solving puzzles and finding overlooked connections.

I care deeply about making the world safer, fairer and more compassionate. For this to happen, I believe that access to, and an understanding of, data and technology must become universal.

My Resume

I started my career in tech, took a detour to learn about how businesses (and people) actually work and now I combine the two; offering advisory services through Peculiar Dynamics whilst working on my own ventures.

Employers

I've worked in a wide range of technology-driven companies through my career; completing the rigorous hiring processes at Google and Amazon, pulling the long hours and crazy travel required in consulting, and riding the rollercoaster of life in leadership of Startups.

Freelance and Advisory

Whilst studying for my MBA, I took on small pieces of technical freelance work, whilst also starting a career coaching business to make the tools and techniques I'd learnt available more widely. I'm not currently pursuing coaching, but I'm always on the lookout for interesting challenges and people!
