After completing a degree in Computing BSc and following a somewhat linear path in IT Service Management, at the end of 2022 Lucy Grimwade decided it was time to take her passion for delivering and sustaining value to the next level – She did this by launching her consulting and coaching practice Ither (ai – thuh) Consultancy ltd.

The boutique Enterprise and IT Service Management Consulting and Coaching Practice works on the notion that real value is found in building cultural mindsets to ensure engagement and empowerment thus sustaining people and business success.

After going through her own shifts and challenges – 2018 marked a start of a new path where Lucy embarked on a journey to become a qualified coach. Fast forward to today, Lucy has over 200 hours of coaching, a Coaching Diploma with the internationally recognised body: ICF and holds additional qualifications in NLP and CBT.

Lucy classes herself as a modern-day feminist. She is passionate about empowering Women in Tech, specifically those who work in non-technical roles. She does this by running a Women of ITSM platform with a goal to rocket launch careers and help businesses retain their female tech talent. Lucy also hosted a podcast called Talk Female Friday with the overarching goal to share stories and advice from real women in real situations. Lucy is also a huge advocate for allyship. She is focused on making sure that everyone, especially women and people of colour, are not only invited to the table but they also have a seat, a voice, and a contribution.

On a personal note, Lucy lives just west of London with her partner and puppy. And when she isn’t working in or on her business, you’ll find her practicing yoga, going for long walks and trying her hand at interior design.

If you are Woman in ITSM and/or Tech, let’s partner and co-create a 1-2-1 coaching relationship to build on personal success, growth and transformation via career coaching & mentoring. I also partner with organisations to build cultures of equity and inclusions.
