  Eager to contribute to the social change movement and cognisant of the importance of people and responsible leaders to make that happen, I set up Careers4Change in 2016. This is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting purpose-driven individuals with social economy organisations and mainstream businesses committed to a social impact agenda. Careers4Change has grown considerably since its inception and has enabled multiple change makers to achieve their ambition, of using their diverse skillsets to drive social innovation. Whether focusing on social investment or impact investment, sustaining and building communities, driving bolder and smarter environmental sustainability, promoting clean energy, or advocating for equality around the world, I believe that with the right talented and qualified human capital in strategic positions in social economy organisations and mainstream corporates, we can build a better, more sustainable future.
