As a forward-thinking arts and culture leader with 19+ years of experience, I excel in building and delivering inclusive and outstanding visitor experiences that exceed the needs of existing and new audiences. My expertise includes building and implementing Strategic Business Plans, funding, APRs, New Team Structures, and NPO Partnership Development Plans, as well as Strategic Relationship Stakeholder Management. I have been a member of the Senior Leadership Team and have represented organisations at national and international levels.One of my strengths is building teams that reflect the great diversity of Manchester and visitors, and I am accountable for multi-level management of 100+ staff. I am also responsible for over £1m+ in finance and budget planning, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to achieve organisational objectives.In my previous roles, I created and implemented new strategic Visitor Team designs for Manchester Museum's £14m Major Capital Development Project 2023 and transformed and fully recruited a new Visitor Team for the Whitworth's £13m Major Capital Development Project 2015. I also led the Manchester Art Gallery Visitor & Operation Team Redesign in 2023.My track record of success is grounded in my ability to lead and manage complex projects and teams, providing the direction and support needed to achieve ambitious goals. I am passionate about creating meaningful experiences for visitors and fostering solid relationships critical to achieving momentum and enabling a seamless approach between D&I priorities and the talent value proposition.For more information on how I can help your organisation achieve its goals, please contact me at chad@vxculturalsolutions.com.
