My career has been an interesting and meandering journey – from maths and industry to English and publishing, picking up some European languages along the way. But always with a business context at its core …

​

Having completed a BA in Business with French and German and then an MSc in Operational Research (applied maths) in Glasgow in the 1980s, I worked in the steel industry in Scotland as a process engineer and did research into artificial intelligence (AI) for an engineering consultancy. I then spent a few years working in Zürich and a short time in Paris and London, where I taught English.

​

In the early 1990s, I joined a management consulting firm and, for the next 14 years, worked throughout Europe delivering business improvement projects in the automotive, chemical, FMCG, food, energy, and manufacturing sectors.

 

In 2008, I began to do editorial work for various businesses, so I decided to retrain as an editor. I started my own editorial company in 2011, Pensato Studios, focusing on corporate communications.​

​

I later returned to the world of global transformation programmes and have been working as a Senior Business Analyst delivering technology projects in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. I work remotely across time zones to deliver business analysis contracts, and continue to support clients with their corporate communications. 

 

Life is never dull – and the people are always fab!
