Having been with Alike since its inception, I am immensely proud of the journey that we’ve all been on. I've worked in cancer research for over a decade, consistently focusing on improving patients’ quality of life, and I’ve seen how loneliness and isolation affects so many people with cancer. I believe the work that Brad and the team do is absolutely integral to improving that part of the patient journey, and as the Chair of the board of trustees, it’s my job to support Alike as they build their platform and community.

Cancer is a disease that is particularly close to my heart, and I want to be able to help Brad and the team make a difference to those who most need it. As a commercial finance team leader with nine years of experience on strategic projects at Tesco PLC, my role is to work with Brad and the team, helping to inform their financial decisions to keep Alike financially compliant and sustainable. I love the variety and the pace - and that no two days are the same!

Having spent over 15 years working with clients to establish innovative new products and technology experiences I am passionate about the role technology can play in improving lives and build a real connection between people. As a founding trustee I have been with Brad from the beginning: my own experiences with cancer have shown me first-hand how important this mission is, and I am so proud to see Alike grow, and foster real connection and combat loneliness.

I’ve always held community close to the heart of everything I do. As the Founder & CEO of By Rotation - the world’s largest shared wardrobe - I’ve found that principle is as valuable now as it was when I was 14 and started my first online community for graphic designers. I first crossed paths with Brad early on in my own founder journey, and have since become increasingly aware of the interpersonal journeys that people affected by cancer undergo. I am committed to using my product knowledge and professional networks in building digital communities to support Alike's journey in transforming relationships amongst communities impacted by cancer.
