Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what some of my clients have to say about working with me.

  • I worked with Anna on a global project to identify the potential of high-value women in philanthropy for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Anna very quickly got to grips with how to make things work in a very complex organisation. She is highly skilled, and was able to use her expertise as a consultant and her great interpersonal skills to engage key stakeholders and to build a clear picture of the needs and opportunities for UNHCR. I would thoroughly recommend Anna to any organisation seeking to understand and develop a high value fundraising programme.

  • Anna led our team through a complex period of change, and worked alongside our fundraising leadership team to build a strategy for our team and income growth for the future. Anna has an amazing ability to cut through the noise, bringing a strategic-mindedness, positivity and energy to everything she does. She was able to quickly grasp a complex set of challenges and opportunities and built instant credibility with a multi-partner leadership team to develop their thinking in shaping the team strategy. Anna really cares about the people she works with and she takes a truly collaborative approach in bringing solutions to the table. Thank you, Anna!

    — Nikki Lee, Senior Philanthropy Manager, King’s College London and King’s Health Partners

  • I had the pleasure of working with Anna at King’s College London and Guy’s and St Thomas’. Anna wrote a strategic review of the T&F function, incorporating a comparison with other institutions' T&F teams and robust recommendations for the future. Anna was also interim Head working across both institutions. She made clear pragmatic decisions about where she could make the most impact, and rapidly built rapport and trust with the team, and with myself as Deputy Director. We established an effective collaborative relationship, and agreed team deliverables that allowed the team to achieve strong results during a period of intense change and uncertainty. Anna has tons to offer as a consultant and I sincerely hope I get to work with her again.

I very much enjoyed working with Anna and have no hesitation in recommending her."

Anna has a very broad depth of experience and understanding, and was able to use her skills to build a clear picture of the needs of the organisation. Anna was very supportive and has great interpersonal skills. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to understand, develop or build high value fundraising within their organisation."

Anna's technical knowledge when it comes to high value fundraising is unsurpassed and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her services."
