Juliet started her career at one of the most admired creative agencies in the world, BBH. She set up BBH's integrated agency in 1987 which she led for the next 14 years before moving into a growth role across the full agency group. In a high performance environment, she learnt about leadership and what it takes to be outstanding. It was this experience that prompted her move into headhunting. She joined Kendall Tarrant in 2003 where she challenged and inspired leaders from all over the world in the media, marketing and communications industries.
In 2007, she set up her own headhunting business with two partners. Grace Blue was founded on the belief that finding the right talent and supporting that talent was the most important factor positively impacting the success of any business. Grace Blue has grown to be a global organisation, respected all over the world for finding and developing transformational leadership talent.
Two decades later, she has now trained as a business coach with one of the most respected and exclusive business coaching programmes in the world - Meyler Campbell. This intensive training has enhanced her coaching skills and the knowledge of how to deliver the greatest impact. A member of Harvard's Institute of Coaching, she is part of a community of professional coaches who are constantly learning and sharing their knowledge and experience. Having stepped aside from her CEO role within Grace Blue, Juliet has now moved onto Grace Blue's global advisory board, leading their business coaching practice. Her experience of working with C-level executives provides her with a unique foundation to develop her clients effectively within their organisation environment.

"Juliet is a force of nature She has been a source of positivity, wisdom and support to me for over a decade. I could not imagine a person better qualified to inspire and advise leaders"

Marc Nohr, formerly Founder Kitcatt Nohr, President Digitas UK, Group CEO of Miroma, Chairman of Fold7

"I have been fortunate to work with Juliet for 17 years. During that time, as we have built the Grace Blue business around the world, I have seen first hand the extraordinary skills she brings to her work each and every day. Besides being a brilliant human being, there is an inherent kindness and genuine curiosity that comes with every engagement. She has a depth of experience of working with leaders that is second to none and I have consistently seen how she gains trust and builds the confidence of those she is working with and ultimately, enables them to be the very best version of themselves. I can't imagine anyone better suited to coach and advise those who are looking to be the leader they aspire to be."

Jay Haines, Founder Grace Blue

"Talented, well-rounded and ever hard-working, added to a winning and open personality... this has made Juliet both a very capable team leader and a builder of effective teams. She understands how teams operate harmoniously, whatever their size, their mix and their circumstances. She has been, unfailingly, a pleasure to work with, to know and to listen to. I cannot praise and endorse her highly enough."
