Bio
Juan Pablo Astolfo
Ed was my mentor during my placement at Big Society Capital in the On Purpose programme. Throughout this time, he helped me to challenge my professional goals and understand what my skills and values could add to any organisation. His guidance was key to set into motion my professional networking, something I’ve always found difficult and now is part of my everyday approach to work. He had a very human approach to everything he does, and I really enjoyed our work together.

Working with Ed, as his On Purpose mentee, completely changed the way I viewed myself professionally. Ed has an incredible humility, an adaptable approach and most importantly an incredible power for getting you to solve your own problems. Through our work together, I was able to set a direction for myself and work towards getting much closer to my potential than would have been possible without his mentorship. It is a privilege to work with Ed and it is an experience I am truly grateful for.
