I am a former Charity CEO with over 16 years’ experience in the fields of housing, regeneration, and communities. I have a particular talent and passion for advocacy campaigning, policy and research. I am based in the UK. 

As evidenced by my LinkedIn profile, I have an excellent background in lobbying and campaigning, policy, and organisational leadership, all in the public, charity and third sector.  

I was recognised as one of the top 25 most influential people in housing, and was the first non-U.S. winner of the prestigious Swann Matthei Award, a lifetime achievement award.  

In general, I am a natural problem solver and relationship builder who thrives on building rapport with people at all levels. I am also an authentic leader, supportive of others, and frequently described as ‘deeply human’. 

Since becoming freelance in March 2021, I’ve worked with the following clients:

I am an Associate at Practical Governance and the Centre for Regional, Economic and Social Research (CRESR), Sheffield Hallam University.
