Biography

I have been exploring the social and economic impact of the cultural and charity sector in general, in particular implementing Social Return on Investment (SROI) approaches. I am also investigating funding and business models for cultural organisations in Latin America and the UK, in particular identifying factors that affect an organisation's capacity to implement sustainable business models and to diversify funding sources.  I am a playwright and have produced a number of plays in Latin America.
