About my Mission
I'm currently writing The Banality of Good, a book arguing that our political malaise persists not because people have stopped caring, but because our systems have made caring structurally irrelevant.
The title deliberately extends Hannah Arendt: just as harm can become normalised when systems displace moral judgement, goodness can become inert when responsibility is pushed onto private virtue, charity, and symbolic gestures — while the structures that actually organise power and resources drift on unchanged.
The book asks what it would take to design institutions that make moral judgement easier to exercise and harder to ignore.
About Me
My professional background spans rigorous multi-method research training, service design in theory and practice, change management, education and strategy consulting. I have been in senior management roles for over a decade, and enjoy the forward-looking, futurist element of inspiring and leading people. I have worked for start-ups to large organisations across three continents, in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, and led anything from entire organisations, to pre-sales teams and multi-national research projects.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and an M.Phil in Politics: Comparative Government from Brasenose College, University of Oxford, as well as a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto, an LLB in Law from the University of London, and an M.Sc in Education from the University of Edinburgh.
