​

I’m Ria, Founder of KIBO, former international athlete, ex-CEO and a coach who is obsessed with helping leaders perform at a high level without losing themselves in the process.

​

Over the last 20 years I’ve worked across sport, education, business and the charity sector as a PE teacher, Head of Development, Director of Education & Inclusion at a football foundation and CEO of a National Governing Body.

​

I now coach senior leaders, high-potential women and leadership teams across sectors including health, finance, sport and the public sector.

​

My approach is grounded in:

• Lived leadership experience – I know what it feels like to carry the weight of an organisation.

• Athlete mindset – bringing focus, resilience and marginal gains to leadership.

• Positive psychology – practical, evidence-based tools that help people think, feel and perform better.

​

KIBO  name inspired by my two beautiful children means hope. For me, it’s about helping you find the version of leadership that feels powerful, sustainable and true to you.
