“Christina is a stellar safeguarding professional with a number of proven strengths. Christina provided strategic safeguarding leadership to Women Deliver in support of WD2026, working closely with our team throughout the planning and delivery of a complex international conference that involved 6,000+ participants, partners, volunteers, and staff from around the world. From the outset, Christina brought exceptional expertise in safeguarding governance, risk management, and organizational assurance. Her relentless work implementing safeguarding policies and procedures before, during, and after the conference stands out as a testament to her work. She combined strategic oversight with practical, solutions-focused advice, helping us strengthen our safeguarding arrangements while ensuring the wellbeing and safety of participants, particularly those most at-risk.

She was an invaluable source of knowledge and counsel, quickly establishing herself as a trusted adviser to our team. Her ability to manage high-pressure situations and incidents with professionalism is remarkable. She was collaborative, thoughtful, and highly responsive, working seamlessly across multiple teams and providing pragmatic advice that strengthened both our planning and operational delivery. Beyond her professional capabilities, Christina’s approachability and warmth garnered her respect from colleagues, making her a distinct asset to the team.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Christina to organizations seeking executive-level safeguarding leadership, governance, and assurance support within complex national or international environments. Her contribution to WD2026 was outstanding, and she played an important role in helping us create a safer experience for everyone involved.”

Christina’s expertise in safeguarding was evident from the start, and her recommendations were practical and easy to implement. Thanks to her support, we now feel confident that we have the right measures in place to protect everyone involved. I can’t recommend Christina highly enough!”

“Christina joined Refuge at a pivotal time, when we were undergoing significant change. As a specialist provider to women and children experiencing domestic abuse, safeguarding is at the very core of what Refuge does. Christina was able to help us ensure that this core value and concern was not just implicit but explicit across the entire charity. She established a strong foundation for organisation-wide safeguarding by developing policies, training and a framework for reporting, management and governance. This has made a huge positive difference to our ways of working and I would highly recommend Christina. She brought a highly professional but also very personable approach to her work that encouraged collaboration and ensured that the wide ownership of safeguarding across Refuge remained and grew, at the same time as creating a central hub of expertise.”
