I can support your…

  • Tech Startup or Accelerator

    I enjoy helping disruptive innovators succeed and thrive, especially BIPOC or women-led businesses focused on culture, wellbeing, climate or social impact. I bring experience from both newly set up and established accelerators and incubators in areas including edtech, medtech, STEM and greentech. I’ve coached SMEs, led search processes, created assessment frameworks, and developed contracts and benefits packages. I am passionate about digital and Tech for Good as well as the power of beautiful, functional UX and UI.

    Past clients include: Design for Social Impact, Digital Health London, Institute of Physics

  • NGO, Non-profit or Philanthropic initiative

    I love helping those who help. From newly launching or temporary initiatives to complex established INGOs, I slot in quickly and build strong relationships with your stakeholders. An experienced generalist, I bring greater rigour and maturity to your core processes, from people operations to fundraising, technology and communications. I can help you save precious resources with my hands-on delivery of copywriting and content creation in parallel to developing and implementing your strategy, methodology and templates.

    Past clients include: Plan B 2030, Fundraising Radicals, The Rallying Cry

  • Public Sector or Corporate Transformation programme

    I thrive on helping improve large, complex organisations, including publicly-funded health and social care services and local government councils. From scoping to implementation and evaluation, I’ve managed projects raising service standards and reducing costs in areas from disability services to hospital discharge. I’ve also convened and led new partnerships, including a pandemic community health protection campaign involving over 15 public agencies.

    Past clients include: NHS, Public Health Surrey, Life Without Barriers, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham
