Role: Chair of Governors (appointed March 2017 for four years; re-appointed March 2021 for four years); Foundation Governor appointed by the Latymer Foundation at Edmonton.

As a second-generation Latymerian I am delighted to be able to serve the school that has played such a big part in shaping my life. Most of my career has been spent in IT, ultimately as an IT Director for chemicals and metals company Johnson Matthey plc. Outside of work I have held various trustee roles, most recently as Chair of Trustees for Scouting in North London. As a result of my work as a governor in various sectors, I am now an accredited National Leader of Governance.

I am proud to have the opportunity to volunteer my experience of governance and trusteeship, together with my long involvement with youth development and my knowledge of the Latymer ethos, at this truly outstanding school.
