Lydia joined Portfolio UK in 2016 and made the leap to Portfolio US in 2022. She loves publishing energizing ideas for ambitious professionals by coaches, academics, and entrepreneurs with unique voices. She’s interested in fresh takes on entrepreneurship, careers, female empowerment, psychology, big ideas, and self-help. In London, she published six Sunday Times bestsellers. Her authors include Cal Newport, Marie Forleo, Vanessa Van Edwards, Dr Tessa West, and Steven Bartlett. As a relative newbie to the city, she’s making it her mission to visit every single bookstore (and bakery) in New York.
