Care for the Wild International

• Surrey

• Chief Executive

  • Jul 2002 - Sep 2009

  As CEO of Care for the Wild International (CWI) my team and I doubled the size of CWI’s project portfolio to more than 40, while cutting operating costs by 35%. I successfully adapted, restructured and advanced the charity’s internal and external operation. At the same time, we created a brand identity and significantly enhanced the charity’s profile and effectiveness. As a result our supporter base rose and income grew by 78%. We also created successful new wildlife adoption partnerships with retailers including M&S, Argos and WHSmith. These activities allowed us to significantly advance the charity's wildlife protection and conservation mission, which is what it is all about. Show less
