Driving Charitable Impact as a Visionary Third-Sector CEO | Board-Level Leadership | Strategic Development & Engagement | Championing Inclusion, Wellbeing, and Personal Growth
As a versatile and highly experienced third-sector chief executive, I have a proven track record of leading complex organisations to deliver charitable results and make a lasting impact. With over 15 years of board-level experience across various sectors, including education, careers, professional/membership bodies, and NGOs, I bring a breadth of knowledge and expertise to my leadership roles.
Throughout my career, I have held executive director positions in profitable commercial trading subsidiaries. I have successfully guided education, qualifications, professional standards, technical research, and thought leadership initiatives. I have also excelled in policy lobbying and partnership development, forging strong relationships with global stakeholders, including corporates, financial institutions and funding agencies, regulators, governments/policy makers, and NGOs.
My leadership approach centres around engaging colleagues and stakeholders in strategy development, fostering a shared sense of purpose that empowers everyone to contribute and achieve. I believe in celebrating successes and recognising impact, while also embracing lessons learned to drive organisational agility and continual development.
A cornerstone of my leadership philosophy is the creation of a people-centred organisation with an inclusive environment where individuals are valued, invested in, and feel safe. I have successfully implemented values-based cultures that prioritise inclusion, health, safety and well-being as fundamental pillars of our people strategy.
As a leader, I embody a highly visible and approachable style, finding great motivation in supporting the development of others. I thrive on coaching colleagues through significant periods of change and uncertainty, empowering them to gain confidence and unlock their full potential.
I am passionate about making a difference in the third-sector and driving meaningful change through effective leadership. Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to create a positive impact together.
