A highly experienced senior manager who specialises in developing economic and housing growth strategy and driving forward delivery, enabling and securing major infrastructure and business investment. With over 20 years experience teamed with strong business and property acumen, I have successfully led growth strategies, place marketing and inward investment approaches for Camden, Enfield, Fenland, Bedford and Leicestershire councils securing over £85m of public sector investment in new innovation and enterprise centres, engineering-focused incubators, broadband programmes, road networks and infrastructure, waterways, utilities and drainage, resulting in over £400m private sector investment.Supporting and advising Chief Executives, Strategic Management Teams, Councils, Cabinet or Executive and individual Portfolio Holders, I have acted at director level with clear responsibility for significant resource management – capital, revenue and 30+ staffing budgets, as well as commercial portfolio including strategic land acquisition and disposal; design, construction and asset management of business centres and industrial units; town centre visioning and management including markets; and analysis and investment in site specific infrastructure to enable physical development on brownfield and greenfield land for new jobs and homes. Working in partnership with Regional and National bodies, I have led development of transformation programmes, such as Cabinet Office’s One Public Estate, focused on driving efficiency from the public sector to help stimulate regeneration and maximise income streams. I am well connected and have developed strong relationships with many business leaders through either regular business engagement or supporting to attract new business investment, working closely with UKTI/DIT, BEIS, Cabinet Office, SEMLEP, LLEP and local property agents and intermediaries.
