With over 20 years of experience in membership development, stakeholder engagement, and strategic growth, I bring a wealth of expertise in governance, leadership, and financial oversight. As Head of Membership Development at RIBA, I have successfully led a 55,000-member network, managed £1.1M in new membership income, and maintained a 95% corporate retention rate. My tenure at the Institute of Hospitality and Institute of Directors further solidified my ability to drive sustainable growth, operational excellence, and stakeholder collaboration at both national and international levels.

I possess a strong understanding of nonprofit governance, corporate partnerships, and financial stewardship, ensuring that membership organizations thrive while upholding their mission and values. 

As a dedicated member of the Institute of Directors (IoD) and holder of multiple leadership and governance certifications, I am committed to advancing best practices, enhancing stakeholder value, and driving impactful change in the membership sector. My experience in leading diverse teams, optimizing processes, and leveraging data-driven insights positions me as a strategic, forward-thinking trustee who can add significant value to any organization’s governance and operational strategy.
