Work history

About me

I am a leader with over a decade of experience transforming regulated industries, including healthcare, nuclear, and economic development. I specialise in governance, performance assurance, and socio-economic strategy, delivering multi-million-pound projects and reshaping governance frameworks to achieve measurable outcomes.

As a member of The Open University's Human Research Ethics Committee, I oversee research in healthcare, AI, and behavioural sciences, ensuring GDPR and ISO compliance while balancing innovation with accountability.

Career highlights include leading infrastructure programmes that boosted GDP, cutting patient wait times by 90%, and securing millions in funding for cultural and social initiatives. As a trustee for Prism Arts and Always Another Way, I’ve strengthened finances, expanded services, and improved compliance by 35%.

I bring expertise in behavioural economics, data analytics, and Lean Six Sigma to enhance efficiency and resilience. Supporting organisations tackling health inequalities and uplifting rural communities aligns with my values.

If you seek a leader with innovation, strategic insight, and dedication, I am ready to bring my expertise to your organisation.

What am I looking for

I am seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise in governance, strategic leadership, and performance improvement to support organisations addressing critical challenges and driving systemic change. I am particularly drawn to high-impact trustee or governance roles where I can influence strategic direction, ensure compliance with GDPR and ISO standards, and shape ethical research, sustainable development, and organisational resilience.
