Biography
I have recently joined Q as the Strategy and Development Lead.
In my previous lives, I have worked in local authorities developing overview and scrutiny functions, I have been employed by the NHS to commission public health services and I have been the Chief Executive of a Charity devoted to developing large-scale open data sets.
My passions are using data to improve the way that we develop services but making it relevant to the people that provide services.

Let’s talk about value in healthcare
