SAMS Director

I am a marine scientist with considerable experience of leadership of complex organisations engaged in research, commercial income generation and education in environmental science.

I have led transformational change programmes in the public sector, including the introduction of new funding models, staff restructuring and cultural change. I am an experienced CEO and accounting officer for budgets >£55m pa and 500+ staff.

I am inspired by the wonders of the natural world. I am committed to public service and the standards expected of the ‘Seven Principles of Public Life’.
