Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.
Co-Director, People Powered Results
Kate was one of the co-directors for People Powered Results, leading the delivery of transformation programmes within highly complex systems.
Kate was responsible for having a handle on the bigger picture and overseeing the work of the team. Her role was particularly focused on operational management, programme delivery and team development.
Before Nesta, Kate was an operations manager at a housing association, working on a randomised control trial focused on testing the impact of various interventions on the health and well-being of tenants aged 50 and over. Previously, she also worked within several care and support services, providing support to a range of client groups, including older people, people with mental health issues and those with complex needs.
Kate has a postgraduate diploma in mental health practice from Middlesex University and graduated in Film and English at the University of East Anglia.
Outside of work, she has a passion for film, travel and visiting the Kentish seaside!
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.
