I’m a lawyer, strategist and writer. I work with social businesses – dynamic organisations who make profits with a purpose. I do legal, strategy and consulting projects helping clients solve problems and do better business. I’m on the board at Sydney Credit Union and Community Credit Foundation – I support alternatives to the major banks and tackling financial exclusion. I started with mutuals in 1995, implementing the Consumer Credit Code (for my sins). I’ve since negotiated endless commercial contracts, written thousands of pages of policies, run months of training workshops. For several years I worked as a senior exec in finance in the UK. I have another life in theatre: I write plays – Water Falling Down recently premiered at QTC – and am chair of a theatre company, Legs on the Wall. The common thread? Exploring challenging questions and creating social capital. Call me a social capitalist -if you like. I look forward to talking soon.
