Meet Antonia

After earning a degree in management sciences at UMIST, I began my career with Mars Inc., where I built a successful track record in HR and Organisational Development, eventually becoming the Organisation Development Director for Mars Europe. Following this, I founded Wingivers, focusing on creating practical, actionable solutions to help businesses align their operations with their customer and shareholder promises.    I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from top teams at Mars Inc. to businesses in retail, B2B services, manufacturing, care homes, and the non-profit sector.

The best expertise, ideas, and challenges come from working collaboratively within teams and groups to achieve exponential growth and strategic goals. Fascinated by the world of work, especially the relationship between strategy and organisation, I’ve been driven to help organisations and individuals constructively work through challenges, elevating their businesses, leadership, employees, and lives.

My experience of running my consulting firm for over 20years, and three years of leading Vistage Groups has shown me the importance of balancing focus on both immediate needs and long-term goals. I’ve also discovered that a key factor in success is the energy, focus, and mindset of the senior leader, and the ability to support them through fluctuating challenges.   Over the years, I’ve learned through trial and error how to optimize business performance—placing the right people in the right roles, making strategic decisions, and ensuring effective processes, all in service of a clear vision.

Outside of coaching and mentoring leaders, I serve as Trustee of the YMCA Trinity Group and Chair and Trustee of a Building Preservation Trust.
