Dott Group is led by Mel Kinnaird, a Chief People Officer with more than 20 years’ experience across financial services, insurance, energy and government. We work alongside CEOs, founders and Boards at points of growth, integration and leadership change, as a trusted adviser or stepping in to lead.
Independent advice for CEOs, founders and Boards on the organisation, the executive team, and performance and remuneration.
Operating models, structure, integration and capability, including what AI means for services and roles, designed and carried through.
Senior people leadership when you need it, from an interim or fractional CPO to a focused review of your people function.

Mel has led People & Culture functions, held line roles in continuous improvement and learning, and led the people side of major acquisitions and integrations. She knows what it takes to run the work, not just advise on it, especially in regulated, complex and politically sensitive environments.
Most of our work comes through referral and long-standing relationships. Clients come to us for independent judgement, a commercial view and someone who stays involved when the work gets difficult.
