I am an empathic, inspirational leader with over 37 years’ experience of implementing innovative management strategies and building high performing multi-disciplinary teams to deliver successful business development and structural transformation programmes for a variety of high profile public and private sector organisations, charities and NGO's.
As a commercially astute change agent with a strong public service ethos i have an impressive record of delivering good governance, reputational risk management, corporate social responsibility, and running public services in a business-like manner. In addition, my ability to develop and implement innovative operational and financial solutions that drive increased productivity, operational efficiency, customer satisfaction and cost reductions is well proven.
My extensive knowledge of organisational change management, operational standards, governance, financial management, business strategy development & delivery within the third sector and managing responses to major incidents has been built up over the last 23 years. I do have excellent networking, negotiation, presentation and diplomacy skills allied with ability to engage stakeholders at all levels creating collaborative vision and mission led organisational cultures. I believe that I have become a recognised and respected charity leader, mentor and adviser with a passionate belief in the power of humanity, in making a difference to the lives of those in need, in advocacy, and in selfless action.
