As an established professional, director and advisor in museums and the cultural heritage, both in the UK and overseas, I have a track record of delivering positive transformation - physical and digital and organisational - enabling cultural institutions to extend their reach, achieve greater sustainability, relevancy and impact, and to thrive in what feels like a relentlessly uncertain operating environment. This isn’t just theory. Museums and heritage really can change lives.
I have worked for over 30 years in senior leadership, curatorial, policy and research roles for museums, heritage organisations, universities and for central government, 20 years of these as a CEO with staffing ranging from 30 to 300.
Whatever your size or need, my lived experience as a cultural CEO can help you to resolve complex issues with advice and support ranging from visioning, strategy and master and business planning, service reviews, collections and digital strategies, content and interpretation plans to mentoring and board development [see Services]. I combine evidence driven and people centred approaches that ensure the best results and impact.
