Meet our Senior Management Team 

I am a political campaigns and communications specialist, having worked across political parties at local and national levels. During 2014-15, as National Campaigns Director, I took the Green Party to their most successful election results in their history; quadrupling their share of the vote. In 2012 I also led the successful campaign to elect the independent candidate George Ferguson as Bristol’s first mayor.

After more than 17 years in the charity sector specialising in income generation, brand management and marketing at national charities, I joined the League in 2017.

It’s a real privilege to lead such a passionate team. Our wildlife has the right to live a life free from persecution and I’m proud to leading a team that’s making great strides in making this a reality.

I am lucky to live near the sea and enjoy early morning runs along the beach before the world awakes.

I have a background of more than 30 years in social change. I have held senior management roles in campaigns on the issues of homelessness, human rights, international development and animal welfare. I have been the Director Scotland for the past five years and before that I was the UK Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

I live in Edinburgh with my wife and Smokie the cat. We moved here seven years ago after living in London for 40 years. It was the best move we’ve ever made. I’m also glad to say I’m very proud of what the League is achieving in Scotland.

I joined the League in January 2018 after working for six years as the Head of Finance at Compassion in World Farming. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants with 30 years’ experience in Finance. Having worked in practice for six years, I moved to the not for profit sector, gaining valuable experience in a variety of organisations.

A Chartered Member of the CIPD, I have been practising HR for nearly 20 years, developing and managing HR strategy to support organisational effectiveness. As a member of the League, I was delighted to join the team in 2019 where I hope my passion for people will give each employee a platform to develop credibility and work collaboratively.
