      Independent Consultant

      Independent consultant providing creative, problem-solving leadership training, mentoring and operational delivery support in all aspects of fundraising and income generation.My primary interest is in needs lead organisations whose key focus is on seeking to radically address needs through a combination of creativity and measured risk-taking. To create real sustainable change as opposed to having a fixation with organisational longevity.My interest in Digital Transformation predates COVID19 appreciating that the 3RD Sector in terms of its skills capacity is largely trying to catch up with a digital train that left the platform some considerable time ago.
