Bio
Tom Tew
I know Natalie well from our time together at Vincent Wildlife Trust - she was CEO and I was Chair. Natalie is an all-round first class executive leader - respect by her Board and admired and liked by her team. Eyes for both the big picture and operational detail - passionate, considerate and intelligent. A pleasure to work with.

It is always a huge pleasure to work with Natalie. Not only can she see the bigger picture, but also the pros and cons and the actual delivery side. It's a special person who can combine all those attributes and ensures that she is at the table when big decisions need to be made and direction is sought. I am always impressed with her energy! When others are flagging she finds something about an issue that resonates with her ability to find a solution, and will lead the way, enabling others to regroup, pick up and contribute. During lockdown this has been a defining feature of Natalie's personality and I remain in awe. I fully see why she has been a CEO and a senior director. She's a rising star.
