OVERVIEW

Hello! Ever feel like leading a non-profit is like juggling flaming torches while herding cats? I’ve been there—and I can help.

Someone wise once told me to ‘choose your work by the problems you want to spend your time solving.’ After 25 years in the non-profit world (three times as a CEO and eight years as a consultant), there’s nowhere I’d rather be than working alongside inspiring leaders to navigate complexity and create thriving, impact-driven organisations.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in experience. I can help with:
*Facilitating strategy workshops – Developing inclusive, adaptive strategies – Aligning boards or leadership teams for better decision-making – Mentoring senior leaders*

I aim to create impactful, enjoyable projects tailored to fit your organisation’s needs – with flexible options to suit your resources.

“The results were brilliant—just what we needed. I appreciated Jane’s depth of knowledge, clarity, speed of response, and focus on meaningful change. The support was exactly what we needed: personal, supportive, and flexible.” —Tom, Charity CEO

CLIENTS

Over the years, I’ve partnered with a wide range of non-profits—charities, social enterprises, housing associations, corporate and family foundations, and membership bodies—across the UK, US, Australia, and Africa. I’ve guided over 200 senior leaders to achieve greater social impact.

My clients have ranged from start-up charities to £120M foundations. Recent partners include the Makaton charity, Concern, the Haemophilia Association, the Churchill Fellowship, Spadework, the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, the Infection Prevention Society, and Fondation Chanel.
I also act as a sounding board and mentor to senior leaders, offering tailored guidance on navigating opportunities and challenges.

“I keep coming back to Jane because she’s the best at getting right into the thorny problems I face as a CEO and helping me untangle them. After working with her, I always feel like the challenges are surmountable.” —Jude, Charity CEO

EXPERIENCE

Early in my career, I spent a decade leading aid and development programmes, gaining extensive experience in scaling social impact amid complex, uncertain environments. I became fascinated by leadership and psychology and the question of how we can be at our best, no matter the circumstances.

Back in the UK, I served as CEO for three fast-growing non-profits, learning (sometimes the hard way) about strategy, organisational dynamics, and the vital interplay between purpose, people, and process.

My favourite job title is now ‘co-creator’- reflecting a highly collaborative approach that blends consulting, mentoring, and facilitation.

“Jane has helped us completely transform our not-for-profit business. She’s given us guidance, support, and wisdom—helping us evolve our strategy, restructure our organisation, and understand our team dynamics. Jane is a joy to work with because she takes the time to truly understand us as people and as a team, which means her advice is always tailored to our needs.” —Tessa, Non-profit Business Director
