AS Watson

Reward and Learning Director for Group People (Europe) at AS Watson, blending an eye for detail and a passion for data and numbers with a love of people development and an inclusive culture. I enjoy building teams that are kind, confident, curious and ready for whatever comes next.

Before stepping into my current role, I’ve built a career as an experienced people generalist, progressing through a variety of HR and people roles in Superdrug, wagamama and Sainsbury’s, as well as a life changing experience working for the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2012.

One of my highlights of 2025 was watching the celebration of our wonderful recruitment team winning their Talent Labs Award and so I’m delighted to get the chance to help recognise this year’s winner.

Outside of work the curious part of my mind is currently applying itself to learning languages, mostly Korean but also more recently Cantonese, to better engage with my new colleagues. The confidence in speaking in either hasn’t caught up with my curiosity yet!
