I believe there is a pressing need to develop ideas about knowledge-based culture, and how innovation positively locates within society. I am keen to support the creative and scientific landscape by enabling personal encounters that employ coherent and imaginative digital and social tools. I like to unlock potential and develop meaning for contributors and audiences, with differentiated or often polarised opinions, bringing new voices into rational debate on terms that make sense to communities of myriad identities.* Managed budgets, projects and teams within government, industry, university and third-sector organisations to deliver complex multi-year and overlapping activities across UK, Europe, Asia and USA.* Substantial creative project management experience from concept and development, to delivery and evaluation to inform future work. * Worked with 150–300 teams /year, including John Lewis and Harvey Nichols, HRH The Prince of Wales, NASDAQ-100 and FTSE100 companies, freelance artists and celebrities, universities of all types, and grassroots organisations in Multiple Deprivation areas like Blackbird Leys Community Development Initiative (Oxford) and Knowle West Media Centre (Bristol).* Directed programmes of events alongside companion media strategies, stimulating over a million face-to-face conversations between researchers and publics in the past 15 years.* Provided local, national and international leadership, developing public engagement with science, innovation, arts and culture by contributing evidence and strategies to the sector.
