I am Holland & Barrett’s Science Director, and I am incredibly proud to lead our Science function. We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists, nutritionists, dietitians and researchers. Together, we work to ensure that science is at the heart of what we do at Holland & Barrett – from research and innovation through to our products, services, health content and customer experiences.
I am a Registered Nutritionist with a PhD in Nutrition and have 25 years’ experience spanning academia, healthcare and industry. I began my career as a post-doctoral research fellow specialising in human nutrition and clinical research, working with both healthy populations and people living with disease. I subsequently moved into industry, holding a range of senior roles across scientific and medical affairs, research and nutrition.
I have authored more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications, presented research internationally and continue to maintain strong links with academia as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Southampton.
At Holland & Barrett, I am passionate about making high-quality science accessible and relevant to everyone. My focus is simple: to turn the best science into trusted, practical health solutions that help people live healthier lives for longer.
