She/Her
Carla leads our events, content and operational functions.
Prior to joining Nesta in 2019 , Carla worked in the commercial events sector as Head of Event Strategy, Operations and Client Services for Haymarket Media Group, where she worked on events for business-to-business titles Campaign, Third Sector, PRWeek, C&IT, Event, WindPower Monthly, Ends, GP and MIMS. There, she was responsible for the delivery of over 100 live and digital events a year.
Outside of work, Carla loves Japanese food, learning British Sign Language, her twin daughters and her two huge Maine cats. Although not necessarily in that order.
We extend our impact through two specialised units that help people and organisations to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.
BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.
Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
