I’m Senior Director at the Forward Institute, a B-Corp working with some of the UK’s most significant institutions on responsible leadership. I’ve been Director of Government Relations at 10 Downing Street, set up a social research firm; a talent scout for NESTA; sat on boards at Yale and Salford universities; worked with PLCs and SMEs on sustainability issues; and established counter-extremism programmes around the world. I’ve spent 30 years as an award-winning social entrepreneur founding numerous initiatives in the UK and beyond including The Big Issue in the North and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. In my spare time I’m a school governor and mentor a delightful group of people including a data scientist and some young refugees.
