Mission manager, healthy life mission
Naomi is mission manager for the healthy life mission.
Before joining Nesta, Naomi worked for several years in health policy and strategy roles - in HM Treasury, the UK Health Security Agency and the NHS, most recently focusing on prevention, mental health and health-related economic inactivity.
Naomi has a master's in Global Health Policy from LSE where she researched adult social care and global access to sexual and reproductive health. Her academic background is in neuroscience, particularly neurodegenerative diseases.
Outside of work, she enjoys trying new Italian and bean-based recipes, jogging around different areas of London, and playing tennis or 5-a-side.
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.
