Helping impact leaders unlock hidden value

My background is in helping organisations scale and deliver operational change.  I now use this expertise to help clients improve resource productivity, and therefore impact, as they bring about food systems change.  Examples of my work include:

  • Leading finance and operations in key food system charities
  • Identifying and digitising operational pinch points to free up skilled team members
  • Finding creative ways to deploy resource more productively to maximise impact
  • Streamlining board and executive governance & communications to free up time for more strategic discussions
  • Simplifying internal planning processes to increase agility, alignment and engagement
  • Helping improve cross-functional ownership of strategic challenges
  • Mentoring impact founders to build confidence, resource base, and creativity

You work hard to secure the funding you need to do great work.  I can help you make sure those funds, and teams, are being used as productively as possible.  If this resonates, with you please do get in touch!

Susan's critical thinking, tireless constructive probing of issues, and creative solutions to seemingly intractable problems were all essential to our project's success, and her calming presence helped us all get some sleep.
