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.
Communications Manager, Future News Fund
Wallis was a Press Officer in the Communications team
Wallis worked within the Communications team focusing on the health brief, looking at People Powered Health and the future of health tech. Prior to Nesta, she worked at the Department of Health as a Media and Campaigns Officer and at Médecins Sans Frontières as a Press Assistant.
She is originally from Scotland where she studied her undergraduate in International Relations. She moved to Amsterdam soon after to undertake a M.Sc in Political Communication and volunteered as a youth advocate with an international development charity working on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Outside of work, by day, you can find her in a coffee shop in East London, attempting to learn Dutch and by night, boogie-ing to some disco somewhere.
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.
