ABOUT
I set up Zoe Newman Consulting to provide a unique offering to my clients; the ability to support them at all stages of their transformation.
My career started with the traditional entry level route into Human Resources. I completed my CIPD qualification early on and worked my way through the ranks in generalist roles, mostly in customer facing industries.
I then decided to move into consulting where I found I enjoyed working in a project delivery environment and have since drawn on all of this experience in my contracting roles.
Clients and colleagues often comment on my straightforward approach and my ability to navigate the inevitable organisational politics, tackling challenges head on. I am quick to “learn the ropes”, establishing relationships and adapting to the culture, which means I can prove my worth from day one.
I am passionate about, and am good at, helping senior leaders reach their goals and would welcome the opportunity to help you.

TESTIMONIALS
"I have worked with Zoe when leading major transformational change programs at Novartis and Takeda. Both programs were global in nature, touched on 1000s of employees and were bringing about a step change in the way to understand and manage the business' cost base.
Zoe's blend of consulting and industry experience provided a breadth and depth of insights that she could bring to the table coupled with a calm pragmatism to get change done.
She is comfortable engaging from the Exec level through to the shopfloor and has a great ability to quickly connect the dots and understand what issues need resolving when. A great partner to have on any project who is able to bring a healthy dose of light hearted fun when the pressure piles on."
Dean Bennett, Procurement & Organisational Transformation Leader
"Zoe worked with me on a Finance Organisational change which drove significant change in the organisation, delivering material savings. Zoe was always a pleasure to work with, driving change and helping influence the finance leadership to make good decisions.
The project had challenges and was on an incredibly tight timetable, but Zoe’s good humour and professionalism helped it be successful and made it a pleasure to work on.
I would definitely recommend Zoe to work on organisation design."
Keith Proffitt, Finance Transformation Director
"I worked with Zoe whilst she was leading the HR team at the European Contact Centre for Air France KLM. In a large contact centre, from HR, we required straightforward, practical advice when wanting to engage in crucial transformation projects; flexibility and agility to react quickly to the many exigencies of a contact centre; and credible knowledge to constructively challenge the caprices of an operations management team.
Zoe fully understood the business needs and managed to create a team that consistently managed to meet and exceed expectations on all fronts.
Her practical approach, combined with her ability to engage successfully with stakeholders from all parts of the business, ensured success at all times. It was always a pleasure to work with Zoe and she was greatly missed when she left."
James Revell, General Manager, European Contact Centre
