About me
I’m an experienced NGO leader, currently holding the position of Executive Director at National Parks England.
I offer consultancy services on a part time basis alongside my own leadership role.
I bring experience from across sectors and circumstances. I’ve led periods of transformation and change as a CEO or senior manager in five social change organisations, ranging from place-based delivery organisations to national campaigning and infrastructure bodies. My 15 years in the charity sector have been in organisations spanning a range of social justice issues including Law Centres Network, The Children’s Society and Newcastle United Foundation. From 2021-2023 I was CEO of Rape Crisis England & Wales.
I am a transformational leader and manager and bring a range of skills and experience in my consultancy including
- crisis management
- strategic planning and organisational development
- financial planning and restructure
- workplace culture change
- communications and influencing strategy development
- digital transformation
- political engagement
I work primarily with social justice focussed organisations and have a specialism in working for movement or membership led bodies.

Collaborator
Are you a leader* of an organisation needing some additional support or leadership mentoring?
My Collaborator package is for leaders in social change organisations who need an extra pair of hands, someone to talk through knotty issues or help refine a plan or strategy. This isn’t coaching (although I always work from a perspective of empowerment and building your confidence and skills), and neither is it consultancy (I won’t complete a piece of work or report for you) this is more about having someone who can work through some of the practical challenges with you as a collaborator over a period of time.
I offer packages of support in hourly intervals – want someone to meet with online each week or fortnight through a period of transition or crisis? Chat to me and see if I can help.
*This service is also available to chairs of charities that are going through periods of transition.
Consultant
Do you need help with a particular piece of work relating to your organisational design or strategy?
I take on consultancy work with individual organisations including:
- Strategy review
- Organisational review and restructure
- Financial overhaul
- Governance review
- Consultation with stakeholders
- Influencing strategy
I prefer to work with rather than for an organisation – I won’t go away and do this work for you in isolation, I expect to work alongside your team to deliver this together, supporting the co-creation of strategy and plans.
Trainer
I can develop bespoke training packages depending on your needs.
- Leadership
- Different aspects of management
- Governance
- Influencing
- Wellbeing
I have extensive experience as a commentator and speaker on sexual violence and women’s rights and on a range of leadership issues.
