Role

I lead digital transformation programmes in the higher education sector, with a particular focus on libraries and senior institutional stakeholders across academic, student, information, and research services. My work involves shaping strategic interventions, convening expert networks, co-creating resources, and fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing to drive innovation and change.

Background

I’ve held a variety of roles at Jisc, heading up teams that delivered programmes, products, and services in areas such as content and discovery, scholarly communication, and digital preservation. I first joined Jisc as programme manager for its flagship national digitisation initiatives. I studied at the University of Bologna and Queen Mary, University of London.
