Unlocking the power of transformational philanthropy
I am a fundraising specialist who supports schools, universities, and cultural organisations to unlock income through fundraising consultancy and senior interim leadership. Whether you need an experienced hand to guide your first major gift strategy or a senior fundraising leader to step in during transition, I offer clarity, calmness, and results.
With over 20 years’ experience in high-performing development teams, I have a deep sector knowledge, a hands-on approach, and a track record of securing transformational gifts. My consultancy is ideal for institutions at moments of strategic opportunity, staff turnover, or campaign ambition - where trusted fundraising leadership is needed without delay.
