• Governance and strategic oversight  – experience as a NED in the voluntary sector.
• Familiarity with financial oversight and decision-making – member of the finance sub-committee.
• The ability to support transformation and change – advising the CEO in an organisation undergoing operational and cultural development and strategic transformation.
• Understanding of key managerial and governance issues – designed and taught MBA class on board-readiness for a sustainable future.
• Collaborative and inclusive – with strong influencing and stakeholder engagement skills.

I’ve worked on both sides – reporting to the board as the head of an NGO, and overseeing governance, strategy, and financing decisions as a member of the board. I’ve even designed and taught an MBA programme on future-critical direction in the boardroom.
