Expertise

IT and business consultant passionate about making a difference in social enterprise through strong IT, strategy and project management skills.

Passions @ work

Helping to support enterprises through the business journey that bring an innovative approach to education and, in setting up a business myself, to be creative with the use of IT in building interesting enterprises.

Eastside highlights

Current: My particular focus at the moment is sourcing and applying for various types of finance to help launch a client’s educational social enterprise. I am also advising an educational & debating company in its incorporation to become a charitable company.

Recent project management has also exposed me to a range of creative and environmental enterprises and the finance available to sustain their growth.

Historic: Consultancy to Westminster Council for Voluntary Service in their approach to IT advocacy and capacity building in supporting over 700 local charities and voluntary and community groups.
