Alongside frontline partnership delivery, my background spans public sector consultancy, research‑led strategy, governance development, and national‑scale programme delivery—bringing a 360° perspective to complex organisations and stakeholders.I am particularly focused on social value, inclusion, and impact reporting, supporting trustees, senior leaders, and partners to align mission, reputation, and sustainable income.Open to conversations with cultural leaders, boards, and values‑led businesses exploring long‑term partnership opportunities.
