About

I’ve spent over 10 years working in the charity sector, helping charities navigate a range of problems around technology and impact.

My background

I began my charity sector career in frontline roles for organisations supporting disadvantaged young people. In my eagerness to solve day-to-day problems in these roles I taught myself how to configure CRM systems and eventually write code. The first bit of code I ever wrote was to power a Salesforce sign-up page for volunteers that saved the charity I was working for hours of admin time.

In 2016 I founded Impact Box, a Salesforce consultancy for charities. Over 5 years we supported over 80 social purpose organisations from a range of sectors. I grew the staff team from 1 to 10 in that time. I left Impact Box in 2022 and the rest of the team are now operating as a new worker-owned cooperative.

I now provide freelance software consultancy and training for charities alongside developing and managing Tent, an online community platform for the third sector. Currently I am also pursuing postgraduate study in philosophy at the University of Warwick (part-time). I’m based in Leamington Spa.

Expertise

I have extensive experience of configuring and developing Salesforce specifically for charities and social enterprises. I also have significant experience of software development more generally, and I’m always open to supporting organisations with non-Salesforce related software problems.

I pride myself on being able to communicate on technical subjects in a clear and straightforward manner. As a result, I am particularly comfortable delivering training or providing strategic advice to organisations about how they can best utilise Salesforce or other software.

I also have expertise in impact measurement and data analysis.
