I worked on the commissions of TYC and PEF including early iterations of the education DPS. My passion for resettlement and rehabilitation supported me across multiple roles and high level projects building on my knowledge of custody through to the community. I moved from the public to private sector in 2017 operating in multiple posts including regional director. The wide remit of the roles included mobilisation of TR, business development- successfully tendering multiple contract across the justice sector in custody and the community. My professional network grew considerably enabling me to operate strategically at board level to implement change processes including restructuring, TUPE, MTT; leading large regional business units with a holistic understanding of the market and an eye for partnerships and projects which enabled further growth and opportunities. My current role as part of the SLT at Meganexus has enabled me to build new knowledge and understanding of SaaS technology across Health, Defence, UK Justice and wider international Justice opportunities. I have supported the development and implementation of market analysis and strategy implementation. The business growth has been aligned to the core business footprint enabling managed and sustainable growth whilst enhancing existing contracts and relationships. I have also started and operated my own business and supported the start up of charities and SMEs bringing new ideas and passion into the sector. In my spare time I like to mentor people under the support of the justice system and complete physical challenges for my own personal development and where possible to support charities.
