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.

Hassan works in the Strategy Unit, helping Nesta design, deliver and adjust its strategy over the next 10 years.

Before joining Nesta, Hassan worked as a public sector consultant supporting central and local government departments to grapple with some of their most difficult challenges - from housing strategies for London boroughs to crisis response at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. He takes an impact-led approach to problem solving, passionate about the potential of the public and third sectors to make a real difference to people's lives.

Hassan started his career as an English teacher at a secondary school in North London, and holds a BA in History from the University of Warwick. 

Outside of work, he is a keen tennis player and big fan of live music.
