Experience
Following a stint as a Probation Officer in the mid-1990's I spent 22 years of my working life as Executive Director of Change Grow Live - now the country's largest drug treatment and care provider. We grew an organisation from a Sussex base with less than 50 employees to a large national orgaisation employing 4500 colleagues and working with 100,000+ individuals every year. During this period I held a number of roles including; Operational Leadership, Business Development, Human Resources, Marketing and Communications, Learning and Development, Volunteering and Quality Management.
In 2020 I set up my own consultancy seeking to help organisations making a positive social impact as they seek to grow their influence, become more sustainable and change the world.
I work with them to ensure their strategies and growth ambitions are linked to their purpose and values. This can be tough. I can offer insight, calmness and compassion within the process even when the messages and changes are hard.
