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.
Senior Analyst, A Fairer Start
Hessy was a senior analyst in the fairer start mission.
Prior to Nesta, Hessy worked at RefuAid, a charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK to overcome the barriers to accessing education and employment. She led RefuAid’s Language Programme, establishing a network of partnerships with private language schools and civil society groups to enable clients to access high quality English language tuition.
Hessy has a Master’s in International Politics from SOAS University of London and an undergraduate degree in French and Portuguese from the University of Oxford.
In her spare time, she enjoys travelling, seeing live music and being outdoors.
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.
