Director of communications
As director of communications, Tom oversees Nesta’s media strategy and digital content.
Before joining Nesta, Tom was a special adviser to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Health Secretary James Murray, specialising in briefing and communications. Prior to that, he worked in journalism for more than 15 years, reading the news on national radio and leading teams at the BBC, LBC and elsewhere.
Outside of work, Tom is a huge Formula One fan and tries to go to one Grand Prix in person every year. He loves soul music which provides the soundtrack for his fair-weather running. Most importantly, he spends a lot of time chasing after his young daughter.
