About my Mission
Research is short-hand for looking closely at the world and listening carefully to its stories. Because of that, research is a key tool for change makers and those striving to make a positive difference. It’s particularly impactful when combined with a framework for social change. My chosen one is the social contract.
The concept of a social contract is powerful: It allows us to understand our own obligations as much as the benefits we get from having each others’ backs. Most importantly, it is allowing individuals in a diverse world to determine their own path while being mindful of the impact our decisions have on others.
This selection of thoughts, blogs, and other musings is meant to be the infamous ‘starter for ten’, an invitation to connect, to collaborate, and to change our society for the better.
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.
