CONSULTANCY

 

I have over ten years experience leading Arts organisations of varied scale. During this time I have supported numerous companies to develop new business models and begin journeys of growth.

I am an attentive listener and am skilled at supporting companies to design meaningful and sustainable action plans, rooted in their mission and values.

If you are looking for someone to support with strategic thinking, business modelling, financial planning, fundraising and/or administrative streamlining, I would love to hear from you.

Highlights of my experience in this area are set out below.

Her thorough and thoughtful approach brought new insights to the work of the company and how we can move forwards.

I led Maya through a business planning process, directly responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, producing a new Case for Support document and setting out plans to expand their sector development offer to increase partnerships and income generation.

I also led on the development and submission of Maya’s NPO application and supported on programme development for 22-23.

Organisational Development Lead / Executive Consultant

Since joining Folio Theatre during the midst of the pandemic, I have overseen a company restructure to charitable status, developed a new Board of Trustees, and have created and executed a new fundraising strategy which has seen the company turnover double in the past year.

Executive Producer

Dec 2022 - March 2023

Working alongside Theatremaker and consultant, Joe Hufton, I led the NTR board through a strategic review process, supporting them to design and recruit for a new CEO role in the organisation.

This included thorough data analysis and peer and stakeholder interviews, the findings of which we shared with Trustees at an Away Day that we facilitated.

Following this we oversaw the recruitment process, leading to an appointment in June 2023.

Executive Consultant

Jan 2021 - Dec 2024

I oversaw BitterSuite’s transition to CIO status, reviewed and strengthened their policies and procedures and created and executed a new fundraising strategy supporting their journey as a dynamic and mighty immersive arts company.
