A former Journalist and TV Producer, Anna spent 17 years at Sky where she was an industry leader in women’s sports journalism and was listed in Management Today’s 35 Under 35. She has also served as Non-Executive Director in Sports governance. Anna founded and produced the Sportswomen programme, led the Special Journalism Unit at Sky Sports News and was at the forefront of the changing landscape for women’s sports on screen and in the newsroom during her broadcasting career.

Whilst transitioning back to work from maternity leave Anna experienced debilitating perimenopause symptoms which she struggled to get treatment for. As a journalist, Anna started researching and was shocked to discover she was not alone. Anna then looked deeper into company culture in the UK only to discover that there was a further lack of understanding and support available to women in the workplace. So Anna set out on a mission to change this. Anna made the bold and brave decision to resign from her long and happy career and went on to train and qualify with the Academy of Executive Coaching – one of the world’s most certified executive coach training providers. Using the expert training she received there, combined with her broad and deep experience of her years in the corporate world, Anna launched Allerton Consulting.
