About Dawn

Dawn has been part of Dutton Gregory since 2010 and is the firm’s Chief People Officer.

With a strategic focus on building a high-performing, values-driven culture, she leads the development of people and organisational capacity across the firm.

What a Successful Day Looks Like

A successful day for Dawn is one where she has enabled individuals or teams to perform at their best – whether by clarifying priorities, strengthening key processes, or removing obstacles that limit potential.

She achieves this through deliberate listening, insightful questioning, and aligning people-focused initiatives with the firm’s long-term goals.

Why Human Resources

Dawn’s career in People & Development is rooted in an understanding of human behaviour and organisational dynamics.

She focuses on building environments where leaders can make confident decisions, teams can collaborate effectively, and the firm can scale sustainably.

The most rewarding aspect of her role is seeing individuals realise their potential and step into new levels of capability, driving both personal growth and business impact.

Dawn chooses to work at Dutton Gregory because the firm’s ambition reflects her own – to create a high-performing, progressive, and values-driven organisation.

The Perfect Dinner Party

If she could host a dream dinner party, Dawn would invite Mary Angelou, Nelson Mandela, and Leonardo da Vinci – three figures whose vision, courage, and creativity embody the leadership she aims to foster within the firm.
