She holds a degree from the renowned Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and began her career managing touring productions of West End musicals and operas. Over the past 15 years, Miriam has delivered large-scale events on behalf of international NGOs, creative arts organisations, and Pelumbra Ltd — the consultancy she co-founded. Her current focus is on designing and facilitating leadership programmes and conferences for universities and global networks, including McGill University (where she is a visiting professor), The RoundTables for Experienced Managers, and the International Leadership Association.

Miriam is the co-founder of Wise Thinking Partners, an alliance inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The initiative brings together individuals motivated by these aspirations through two avenues: The Network—a reflective space to explore how the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) can be meaningfully applied—and a unique professional development programme that draws on IDG resources to build capacity for addressing complex global challenges, while fostering creativity, connection, and impact.
