Having spent a good part of my career in the UK and international impact investment fields I am delighted to be able to bring insights and perspectives from these roles to Opportunity International. I am currently a Senior Advisor at Better Society Capital, a leading UK social impact investment institution, having previously been their Chief Financial Officer for seven years.
Earlier in my career I spent nine years at British International Investment (previously CDC Group) as an Investment Manager based in Africa and UK, growing and managing a portfolio of impact investments. I have also held senior financial leadership roles in the professional services and technology sectors and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PWC.
Alongside Opportunity International UK, I also currently hold voluntary sector governance roles at St Paul's Cathedral, London and the Commonwealth Secretariat. I am also Chair of a successful community sports organisation and member of the Grants Committee for a City Livery Company.
