About Nesta

Nesta is a research and innovation foundation. We apply our deep expertise in applied methods to design, test and scale solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time, working across the innovation lifecycle.

Hannah is a Programme Manager at Challenge Works.

She is currently managing the Water Breakthrough and Water Discovery Challenges, which are part of the £200m Ofwat Innovation Fund seeking innovative solutions to issues that the water industry is facing.

Before joining Challenge Works, Hannah worked at a large UK health charity, where she helped develop organisational strategies, and designed and oversaw key programmes of work to deliver strategic goals. She also led a cross-organisational project to better understand and measure impact.

Hannah likes to think creatively and strategically to understand how small changes can lead to wider, lasting impacts. She is a keen believer in using learning to improve, and is always looking for opportunities for reflection and development.

Outside work, she enjoys being outdoors (be it swimming, running or cycling), cooking, and practising her slightly rusty French.
