Where I am based: Bristol, UK
What I do: I coordinate a pipeline of income streams and partnerships to support the strategic growth of DI’s consultancy portfolio. My role focuses on business development and partnership management and involves close cooperation with DI’s project management and technical teams to research, plan and deliver new opportunities.
Previous experience: I have worked for private and public organisations specialising in international development, asylum rights and social protection.
