At Permira, I lead our social impact investments in and partnerships with charities, non profits and social enterprises to support better educational, employment and health and well being outcomes in the US, Europe & Asia.I joined Permira from the Centre for Public Impact (CPI), Boston Consulting Group's global not for profit foundation; an organisation incubated by BCG which focuses on public and social sector transformation. I was part of launching and growing CPI from within BCG to an independent global non profit of 80+ people across Europe, US, Asia and ANZ. I co-founded and set up the UK charity of the foundation, establishing the CPI Europe team of 20+ people and leading as Director of Europe.Before CPI & BCG, I spent time working for the UK government and in communications, focused on creating strategies for behavioural change. Throughout my career, I have also worked in and with a number of charities, such as the Guys and St Thomas' Foundation, Frontline (the social work charity) and 4Children. I also set up Crescendo CIC - a social worker led CIC which works with social workers to unlock their potential for children and families - and am still a Founding Director of the CIC, alongside the two others.The thread that connects everything I have done is a passion for supporting mission driven organisations and businesses.
