Calm. Structured. Commercially grounded.

Film, television and the creative industries

Before moving into mediation, Libby worked extensively across film and media production in the UK and internationally. Her roles included Production Manager, Production Coordinator, Producer's Assistant and Post-Production Supervisor on feature films and independent productions, including Incendiary, Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten and The Proposition. That experience gives her a practical understanding of the environments in which creative-sector disputes arise: demanding deadlines, financial pressures, contractual expectations, changing priorities, strong personalities, freelance relationships and teams that still need to deliver while conflict is unfolding. Libby understands that disputes in film, television and creative businesses are rarely confined to a single issue. Commercial pressures, reputation, relationships, future projects and personal dynamics can quickly become interconnected. Her approach is calm, structured and commercially grounded, helping parties identify what is really driving the disagreement and work towards practical outcomes.

SMEs, founders and international business

For more than a decade, Libby managed operations within an international seven-figure e-commerce business, overseeing supplier relationships, customer operations, logistics, remote teams, digital marketing coordination, product development and operational problem-solving across multiple countries and time zones. This gives her a strong understanding of the realities faced by SMEs, business owners, founders and growing organisations, where unresolved conflict can consume management time, disrupt teams, damage important relationships and affect commercial performance.

Training and credentials

Libby is trained through the International Mediation Institute (IMI) and Civil Mediation Council (CMC) and has completed additional Workplace Mediation conversion training. Her mediation practice is supported by training in negotiation, active listening, facilitated communication and conflict resolution. She is also undertaking an MA Law conversion with SQE1 at The University of Law, with particular interests including dispute resolution, intellectual property, media and legal operations.

International experience

British and Canadian, and currently based in Panama, Libby works internationally with a particular focus on clients and organisations in the UK, Canada, the United States and other English-speaking markets. Her professional experience spans the UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan and Latin America, giving her considerable experience of multicultural teams, international projects and remote working environments.
