Having spend most of her career in culture and brand consultancy Sammy Burt was coming off the back of a spell in-house (checking she could walk the talk) when she founded Backpack on the eve of the UK's Coronavirus in March 2020. Despite the excitement of leading organisational change in a global manufacturer, Sammy missed the variety and challenge of having multiple clients. The benefits of working across sectors and with organisations of all sorts of shapes and sizes. And of course the thrill of different and fascinating challenges!

 

Since it's founding Sammy has explored multiple ways of working; directly with Backpack clients and as an associate through other consultancies such as Farleigh Performance, Said & Done, Global Leadership Associates and Culture Consultancy. She has also held various positions on advisory and trustee boards. Again this variety of 'routes to clients' means that Sammy also benefits from an even wider variety of organisations and a raft of amazing colleagues. When working with Backpack client's Sammy often invites incredible associates to come alongside her and share their people, culture and performance specialisms. 

​

As someone with curiosity at her core and a desire to be useful, Sammy is always open to exploratory and zero commitment conversations to simply discuss what matters to people most, or the biggest challenges they are facing - get in touch!
