FRANCES DE HORN
Practice Manager
I joined Cornerman in 2018 after decades in the industry, and what keeps me inspired is the diversity of my role—no two days are the same.
As Practice Manager, I get to be across everything from operations to strategy, working on the kind of big-picture projects that help us deliver beyond what our clients expect. That variety? It still excites me, even after 34 years.
At home, life is no less full. I’m happiest when I’m with family, whether we’re laughing at each other’s terrible jokes or relaxing with our two teenage daughters, who luckily inherited both our humour and better looks. We also share the house with a husky (the lovable dufus), a weird kelpie, and one surprisingly resilient fish.
I’m originally from the country, so any chance to escape to the Hunter Valley or go horse riding is my kind of therapy. I also paint (on canvas, not walls), play Halo when no one’s watching, and listen to everything from Beethoven to modern playlists. Fun fact? I’ve been shot before—and I’d still take that over running out of Binnorie cheese
