My Background

Having started my career as an operational manager at London Underground, I saw the impact that good quality public transport can have on people and communities, and learned how the railway works and where it needs to improve.
I have used that background and knowledge to lead large directorates and major change, delivering big increases in customer satisfaction and transport accessibility.

Voluntary Roles

Charities are the lifeblood of community in the UK, run by volunteers working to improve their local area and share their passions with others.
