With over 20 years experience leading and transforming organisations in the sport, health, and gender equality sectors, I am passionate about creating positive social change and empowering women and girls. As the Chief Executive of Our Village, a charity that supports families in need with essential baby and children's items, I am responsible for setting the strategic direction, overseeing the operations, and leading a team of staff and volunteers who share our vision and values.Prior to joining Our Village, I was the Chief Executive of Tennis Victoria, where I increased participation, engagement, and revenue across the state, and of Women in Sport, where I campaigned for policy change, conducted ground-breaking research, and secured deals up to £1.8 million. I have a strong track record of developing and implementing effective strategies, fundraising, marketing communications, customer service, and stakeholder management. I have also been recognised as one of the 50 most influential women in sport in the UK and was awarded an MBE for services to equality in sport in 2019. I hold an honorary doctorate in sports studies, a Masters in Health Services Management, a certificate in social entrepreneurship, and a diploma in governance, strategy, risk, and finance.
