Governance & Leadership

I have been invited to provide leadership and governance in both private organisations and charitable trusts. I provide thought leadership for organisations such as the Institute of Civil Engineers and Centre for the New Midlands that aims to shape policies for the design of the built environment at a local and national level. I have acted as a Board level Trustee for charitable organisations such as the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith and Pitzhanger Manor Gallery situated in Ealing, where my responsibility was to provide governance with regards to design as well as advise on the development of and renewal of their estates.
