About
A social entrepreneur who has spent over a decade helping women build careers and businesses that work around family life.
Heather is an award-winning entrepreneur, coach and mentor known for getting things done. She has run businesses for 20 years, has a community of over 36,000 followers on LinkedIn, and has helped thousands of people start their next chapter through business and career coaching.
Heather trained as a Tech Consultant in 2011 and started working as a freelance consultant. She went on to build a consultancy, training and recruitment business that empowered individuals and businesses in tech - with a mission of changing lives.
Originally from Cheshire, near Manchester, Heather lived across the South East and London before eventually settling just outside Hastings in 2012 to start a family here. She launched Supermums in 2016 just after her second child was born to inspire and empower more mums. With a 25-year career in designing and delivering business support and employability programmes, she is proud to be supporting a local to global community.
She trained in NLP Coaching at 26 and in Change Management at 34, and combines the two in her work. She has also lived through most of the big changes herself - starting and closing businesses, marriage and divorce, moving home, becoming a mum and losing both parents - so she coaches with real empathy, but always keeps the focus on your plan, not her story.
Heather is the former founder of Striding Out, which supported young professionals aged 18–30 with their careers and business ventures, and the founder of Supermums, which helps women launch careers in tech and AI. She also hosts the Mums on Cloud Nine podcast and is writing a book on navigating change.
The Supermums Business Hub is the natural next step - our way to ramp up the work we do with female business owners, matching them with an AI Business Consultant. Heather personally leads the one-to-one business coaching and the Superpower Hours group sessions at the Hub.
Our mission is to make sure women-led businesses aren't left behind in the AI economy. We aim to help 1,000 women-led businesses embrace AI and technology by 2030 - closing the digital gap, supporting equality and helping women build stronger, more sustainable businesses.
Women continue to face barriers when starting and growing businesses, from access to finance and networks to the impact of caring responsibilities. At the same time, smaller businesses are falling behind larger organisations in adopting and integrating AI and technology. Supermums wants to help close both gaps. Through the Supermums Business Hub, our global network of AI Business Consultants, local Business Networks, training, coaching and specialist support, we're making practical AI and technology expertise more accessible to women in business. Our ambition is to help 1,000 women-led businesses by 2030 use technology to save time, improve productivity, grow with confidence and build stronger businesses - while creating opportunities for more women to develop their own careers and businesses in the AI economy.
Award-winning training and recruitment that helps parents - and especially mums - build flexible, well-paid careers in tech. Supermums has trained and mentored a global community of women into consultancy, admin and developer roles.
