I have a passion and natural aptitude for working as part of a team while also seeking to develop those more inexperienced to advance the organisation and the individual. Benefitting from a wealth of opportunity from a successful career in the Royal Navy, I’m excited by the prospect of reinvesting my knowledge and experience outside of the military, focussing on the Third Sector.▶️ I have natural tact and diplomacy.With diverse internal and external stakeholders, I realise the challenge faced by charities in meeting often competing motivations and needs of team members, supporters and customers. As an accomplished active listener and trained interpersonal mediator I pride myself on rapidly establishing trusted relationships, engaging across social and professional boundaries with proven delivery of positive outcomes, including when faced with differing cultures and interests.▶️ I am an effective communicator.Increasing networked activism, the changing face of policy making and addressing political divisions are potential barriers to effectively advocating change for the better. Having worked in Whitehall at the centre of government, providing strategic policy advice to Ministers and securing multi-million pound Business Case approvals, I understand the nuance and strategic communication required to influence key decision makers. This is reinforced with a Distinction in my Masters’ Thesis (2015) analysing Trans-Advocacy Networks discussed through the lens of campaigns addressing Child Soldiers and FGM.▶️ I am comfortable collaborating at all levels of an organisation.I realise the challenges charities face in securing the right unpaid trustees while also handling employee churn. Embarking on a new chapter in my working life, as well as identifying opportunities within the Third Sector to be part of a delivery team focussed on organisational outcomes, I would also value the opportunity as a Trustee to work with the leadership team, helping motivate and achieve organisational success. Now with the opportunity and capacity ‘to give something back’, I’m keen to leverage my previous experience as a Non-Executive Director of a £165M revenue generating government agency to also operate at the strategic level within the Third Sector.☎07786 372427✉derekrae1@gmail.com

Privileged to have been a Non-Executive Director for 30 months in a £150M revenue generating government agency charged with the provision of safety critical digital and analogue products and services.During this period, working closely with the Executive team and other NEDs, I provided input to strategic planning, including a bold digital Transformation programme to achieve Ministerial ambitions for the organisation with respect to commercial income generation. I thrived working alongside the Executive Team, collegiately holding ourselves accountable to overcome challenges while setting realisable but ambitious performance targets.Enabling desired strategic outcomes for any organisation relies on good governance and stakeholder management. As a NED, I was also an integral member of both the Audit and Risk Assurance Committee and the Renumeration Committee. Using my natural tact and diplomacy I successfully influenced discussions on incentivisation within the constraints of Civil Service pay restraint as well as providing constructive critical analysis of Risk Assurance metrics and organisational performance.Securing strategic long-term funding requires carefully considered communication with those stakeholders identified as the key decision makers within potential funding providers. I understand this and, within Navy Command, I successfully developed the communications plan and subsequent Business Case securing £3M Concept Development funding to commence revolutionising the Royal Navy’s future hydrographic survey capability.The position I held as a NED is a relatively unique opportunity for a serving military officer. Benefitting from working with other NEDs who are industry leaders in their own specific fields I was effective operating in the Board Room and consequently I seek to transfer this experience into the Third sector as part of an Executive Team and as a Trustee.☎07786 372427✉derekrae1@gmail.com
