About me

Helping leaders amplify social impact
and accelerate systems change

Hello, I'm Natalie

My work is driven by a vision for a world where everyone can fulfil their potential, and where we live with care for each other and the planet. I’m passionate about supporting people and organisations working for this.

During my 15+ years working in the social impact space, I’ve seen how challenging it can be; the pressure to achieve so much with such limited resources, the loneliness of leadership, and the endless need for resilience.

Drawing on my diverse skills and experience I work in and at the intersections of three main areas:

Building leadership capabilities
Learning design & facilitation
Programme development and evaluation.

How I got here

My varied career has been shaped by three interwoven threads:

Enabling learning: From teaching English in France and designing courses for philanthropists, to delivering corporate graduate and talent development programmes and co-leading a Fellowship for climate intrapreneurs working in banking.

Supporting leaders: From working as an Assistant to a busy Executive Director, to listening deeply to charity CEOs’ needs and goals in order to create mutually beneficial partnerships, and mentoring startup founders to measure and maximise their organisations’ impact.

Driving systemic social impact: My work has taken me from homeless shelters and prison radio stations to nature conservancies, from rubbish dumps to board rooms and chocolate factories – giving me insight into how systems fit together and interact, and the range of changes required to create meaningful and lasting change.

Working for impact

Some of the things I’m proud to have been involved in include:

Co-Leading the Climate Safe Lending Fellowship, equipping banking intrapreneurs with the leadership and systems-change skills to drive greater bank climate action.
Supporting social entrepreneurs to better understand their organisations’ role in change as a mentor with the School for Social Entrepreneurs.
Delivering workshops on programmes run by the Social Tech Trust, Microsoft and Mayor of London, among others.
Designing a week-long learning journey through Argentina & Chile, in collaboration with local social innovators.
Being awarded a Churchill Fellowship to visit the USA and Colombia and research what businesses can learn from collaborating with charities.
Completing a psychology-focused coaching diploma and gaining accreditation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Training aspiring coaches as a co-lead trainer for the MOE Foundation.
