Meet Caroline

I work at the edge of human performance, where uncertainty, pressure and change collide. I’m an analogue astronaut, psychological researcher, and executive coach. My research focuses on how beliefs form, persist, and shape human behaviour in complex systems.

My work blends evidence-based theory with practical application for organisations, from startups to multinational corporations, rooted in critical social psychology and systems thinking traditions. This means I look not just at you as an individual leader, but how you influence and are influenced by your social and environmental contexts.

I have independently published novel studies on Product leaders’ experiences of imposter phenomenon, and the interaction effects of gender and feedback on task performance. I’m also a regular contributor to The Psychologist, the magazine of the British Psychological Society.

Alongside my research, I have over a decade of experience in senior leadership within the tech industry as a former Product Director. As a keynote speaker, I’m trusted by organisations such as the Royal College of Surgeons of England, RICOH, Sage, and Mind the Product.

I hold a First-class honours degree in psychology from the Open University and have completed executive leadership development at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Come September 2026 I will be starting MSc Organisational Psychology at Birkbeck University, London.

In my spare time I mentor startup founders on the UK Space Agency’s LEO accelerator, and volunteer as STEM Challenge Coordinator with the Cosmic Girls Foundation.
