Dr Gina Holmes

Background

Dr Gina Holmes works with senior leaders and those stepping into significant organisational responsibility. She has over 20 years’ experience in higher education and currently holds a senior leadership role within a Russell Group university. She understands how large institutions operate: where governance, people, and delivery intersect.

Gina supports senior leaders, heads of function, directors, and associate directors. She works with capable professionals who are carrying substantial responsibility and accountability. Many are navigating complex change, cross-organisational tensions, or decisions with no easy answers.

Her work focuses on decision-making and leadership steadiness. She provides an independent space to think through live issues without noise or performance. She is often brought in when situations feel sensitive, stuck, or politically delicate. Clients describe leaving sessions clearer and more confident in the decisions they already knew they needed to make. The effect is often felt beyond the individual, too, in calmer teams and clearer decisions.

Her style is calm and direct. The work is confidential and non-evaluative. It complements existing leadership development and governance structures. Gina works as an external thinking partner. She does not take on line authority or performance management responsibilities.
