I pivoted my experience in Energy and Economics to influence CCC and partners to prepare for and minimise the impacts of the Cost-of-Living Crisis. I performed extensive research and network building with local partners under my own initiative. I engaged with and influenced the wider Coventry partner organisations and council departments including hundreds of front-line staff, the West Midlands Combined Authority and other local governments from London to Glasgow. I significantly changed the discussion throughout this entire network.

I am currently drafting the Prospects section of the statutory Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) report for Coventry, covering the economy and education.

I worked with multiple internal departments and external contractors to mentor and provide strategic advice to highly innovative SMEs in a BEIS funded accelerator program. I consulted to the Digital Communications Company (DCC), who run the Smart Meter communications network for Ofgem in England. I led the creation of DCC’s 10-15yr strategic plan and proposal to renew their license with Ofgem. I ran multi-disciplinary workshops collating existing knowledge from all departments of the ESC, created a system model for the DCC’s current service, and created a business case for change. This included best available expertise on changes in technology, policy, and user behaviour over that timeframe. This directly influenced the DCC’s public business plan as well as their bid to extend their license. Show less
