I am in a somewhat unusual position. I know the funding world, having designed and run all sorts of programmes, but I also have a deep understanding of and respect for community and grassroots organisations. I have a track record of speaking truth to power in ways that encourage collaboration and, crucially, gets results, and I have the analytical skills to consistently champion evidence-based practice. 

With extensive experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects, I excel in design and troubleshooting of partnerships, projects and funding and support programmes. I’ve successfully developed and delivered initiatives across sectors, from government-funded schemes to corporate-funded programmes. Organisations such as Lloyds Bank Foundation and Power to Change have benefited from my strategic vision, strong communication skills and ability to navigate complex landscapes to achieve social impact. If you need someone to create, manage, or revitalise your programme, partnership, or project, I bring proven success and a results-driven approach.

Solving problems is my happy place. Having mainly worked in and with small and start-up organisations in my 17 years in the charitable and social impact space (12 at a senior level), my ability to think laterally and find solutions has been regularly called upon, whether due to budget constraints, hostile media attacks or tricky partnership dynamics.
