I joined CLASP in December 2020, to support on the Governance side and use my Non Governmental Organisational experience to support the organisation and the great work that is being done. I have learned a lot, been challenged and grown as a person through having the chance to interact with and hear from members, through trustee meetings, events and social occasions.
I currently work as the COO for Edify, working with Low Fee Independent Schools across Latin America and Africa to improve and expand the schools we work with. Prior to my current role I was the International Director with Tearfund who do humanitarian and long-term development work across the world for five years, and before that spent twenty years working for World Vision in various leadership roles in living in six different countries and supporting work across numerous countries in Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
I live in Wokingham with my wife and three boys and am involved supporting/ coaching my sons in the Bracknell Rugby Club as well as the Athletics Club. I am also a proud member of the Reading Bluetits and a regular swimmer in the Thames throughout the year.
