Heather brings several decades of experience at Partner level, joining Gravita as Chair of the Board after an impressive 35-year career with PwC.

In the last ten years, Heather led the Refinancing and Restructuring practice in PwC UK and sat on the UK PwC Supervisory Board. She then relocated to Tokyo, where she joined the PwC Japanese Leadership Team as the business scaled rapidly.

Heather has led numerous multi-stakeholder and cross-border financial advisory mandates. Her Partner career began with the largest UK Coal-fired power station (Drax Power) and, most recently, with a significant Global Tier 1 automotive supplier. She has worked with many private equity houses across many sectors, and spent time with two banks including NatWest, where she worked with leveraged finance clients.

In addition to her time spent with clients, Heather has dedicated much of her career to supporting the development of next-generation talent, in particular, chairing the ‘Partner Matters’ committee for four years at PwC and sitting on and later chairing the ‘Partner Admission Committee’ for 15 years.

In 2023, Heather was inducted into the International Women’s Insolvency and Restructuring Confederation (IWIRC) Hall of Fame for her extraordinary ability to find solutions in different cultures and situations and her passion for the profession.

When she’s not at her desk, Heather loves to go on adventure holidays, particularly skiing, and enjoys spending time in her garden with friends and family.
