Claire is a Business Studies graduate who has worked within several multinational organisations, with experience in Projects, Resourcing, Team Management and Business Support. After several years progressing her career in London, Claire decided to take a career break to raise her two sons. This later coincided with a move to Scotland and a change in motivation for her career.
She provides business support across the employability funds at Inspiring Scotland. This includes adding value to the core team and identifying opportunities to strengthen cross-fund collaboration and learning. She brings a wide range of skills and experience to the team and enjoys bringing people together to share their skills and achieve goals.
Claire is passionate about understanding people and the ways in which society-wide issues affect us all. Inspired by the work that charities within the Inspiring Scotland portfolio do to tackle some of these issues, Claire is keen to use her skills within an organisation with big ambition.
Claire enjoys spending time with her family, running, yoga, exploring Scotland and watching a great film.
