Background

About Tom Emery

I’m passionate about helping people to reach their full potential in life and work. I've always loved supporting others, and have a deep curiosity about what makes people tick. I cut my HR teeth in fast-moving environments such as retail and call centres before experiencing the branch network, digital, technology, HR operations, and transformation areas of a multinational bank. As Chief People Officer of an ambitious, listed FS business, I learned what it’s like to be part of the c-suite with responsibility for shaping culture and delivering a complex people agenda. I am a qualified executive coach and am accredited to use several psychometric tools, including the Hogan suite of assessments. I’m also experienced in systemic team coaching. My approach is flexible - I'm high energy when needed but also create a safe space in my executive coaching sessions to help our clients move forward with confidence. My varied experiences have made me agile and adaptable in how to get the best from every person and situation. I’m a big advocate of equity and inclusion, bringing a combination of lived experience and expert knowledge to organisations that wish to improve their culture and harness the commercial benefits of diversity.
