I lead the communications and advocacy department and support fundraising, research, impact and other departments.• I support expansion to other countries, and together with the President, oversee the ($1m) global ProVeg Grants program. • Starting in Oct 2019, I transformed the Communications and advocacy department into a highly effective team. Media coverage increased over tenfold compared to 2018 (despite coronavirus-dominated news), and an Oct 2020 policy campaign led to over 200 pieces of coverage, including NYT, BBC, top-ten most read Guardian articles. Website and social media metrics have also been boosted significantly. In May 2021, we overturned EU plans to censor plant-based dairy through an innovative advocacy campaign. I co-founded the Plant-based Food Alliance UK in 2021 and in Feb 2022, I became Co-Chair of the EAPF. • ProVeg (170+ staff) has professionalised in the past 3 years, gaining multiple awards (including from the UN), and we celebrated achievements in the food industry and policy change• I developed an organisational logical model and improved the annual planning process resulting in a more focused and joined-up organisation• I initiated significant organisational development improvements including but not limited to: HR policies and processes, reporting and evaluation, work culture, international coordination and integration, and governance• I raised funds for our work in Poland, South Africa, Spain and China
