Tim Robertson
As CEO of the Anne Frank Trust I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Caroline for 5 years as its Vice Chair. I have benefited immensely from Caroline’s strong leadership and warm personal support. She has exceptional expertise in all aspects of organisational development, notably in strategic planning, risk management and people management. She is a delightful colleague and a person of deeply held values.

I was recruited into my current position by Caroline, and reported directly to her. Working with Caroline was very rewarding and as I settled into my new role she was encouraging, inclusive and inspirational. As CEO Caroline was a positive, creative and supportive leader, embodying the values of the organisation and leading it through a period of significant change and direction whilst offering an open door and a listening ear as I began the journey towards strategised international business development.

Jul 2018 - Apr 2020
Responsible for ISI’s business operations. My focus was to develop a new strategy to increase ISI’s reach and impact, including diversifying its income streams to reinvest in enhancing core inspection services. As part of this, I led the creation of a new set of organisational values to support delivery of ISI’s core purpose and strategic aims. I also developed new links with prospective partners in order to generate new business in the U.K. and internationally. As part of implementing a major governance review, I led the recruitment process for four new board directors. Show less

Feb 2010 - Apr 2017
I was a member of GDST's executive board, with specific responsibility for creating and leading the very successful governance, health and safety, HR and legal teams. I had a executive responsibility for risk management and also acted as company secretary for GDST and its subsidiary companies, including the GDST academy trust. I set up GDST's defined benefit pension scheme and and chaired its board of trustees. Key areas of strategic focus for me included headship recruitment and talent management, especially leadership development; pay and reward; partnership and outreach working; employee engagement and well-being of staff and pupils. I was closely involved in negotiating three international joint ventures and in negotiating and implementing several school acquisitions and mergers. My expertise includes a focus on the human aspects of mergers to ensure their success, and in helping create a positive mental health culture. I help people ask the right questions to get the business outcomes they are seeking. Show less
