The personal take: ideology is useless for solving problems, collaboration defines our success as a species, empathy is hardest when you need it most, vulnerability is as important as it can be hard and evolution peaked at dogs. How we get the best out of eachother and the world around us fascinates me. Life is too short to compartmentalise or contort who you are - think it helps to create a work environment where people can be their whole selves and bring a little levity to life. Speaking of levity - fell in love with Comedy Improvisation summer 2022, surfing and Cornish beaches shortly after.The terribly unbritish sell: around 14 years of experience working in the British Government. Proven record on business and community engagement, policy analysis, design and delivery, policy project/programme management/delivery including ground breaking gender pay gap legislation, international affairs/negotiations and response to local crisis. Analytical, strategic, can do, creative and entrepreneurial problem solver, comfortable with complexity, delivering under pressure, have worked at highest levels and delivered in extremely challenging circumstances. Build good relationships quickly and to last.
