I’m stepping down from my role as CEO at Global Witness at the end of April.
The 23 years I’ve spent at Global Witness have been deeply fulfilling and a tremendous privilege for me. I am especially proud to have led our strategic shift to address the climate challenge.
When I took on the role of CEO in 2020, Global Witness’s agenda was a broad one, with three separate workstreams on corruption, conflict and the environment. We now have a clear purpose of shifting the balance of power from big polluters to the people on the frontlines of the climate emergency.
Our impacts have included dislodging big oil companies from Russia after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, exposing the extent of #fossilfuel lobbyists at UN climate COP summits and being central to the creation of a new international initiative to protect environmental defenders.
Global Witness’ investigative campaigning has also played a pioneering role in opening up new dimensions of the climate crisis, including the scramble for transition minerals and Big Tech’s promotion of climate disinformation and online attacks on scientists and activists.
My time as CEO has also seen big changes to our governance, with revisions to the roles of our co-founders, expansion of the board and a rejuvenated Advisory Council. Our funding has increased too – from £9 million in 2019 to nearly £13 million last year.
Responding to the realities of an increasingly volatile world and funding environment, Global Witness has recently adopted a new multi-year strategy and a new structure that gives it clarity of purpose and greater agility. With that strategy and structure now in place, it feels like the right time to make way for new leadership.
Make no mistake – this will be a wrench for me! Global Witness has been my professional home for the vast majority of my career. I started back in 2002 managing a team of undercover investigators in Cambodia. Then, after moving back to London, I spent five years leading our campaign on the trade in conflict resources – blood diamonds, conflict minerals and more.
Subsequent roles involved another stint in Asia, investigating the murky jade business in Myanmar, and advocating in China for businesses to respect human rights and the environment.
I’m very grateful to Global Witness for offering such an incredible array of opportunities. And I have learned and benefited immensely from working with a creative and inspiring array of Global Witness colleagues and partners, including the Board, Advisory Council, Trust and Foundation members, past and present.
I’m also looking forward to a break. My immediate post-April plans are still shaping up, but they may well include some travel, writing, coaching and swimming. More on that to follow in due course.
For now, I want to express my deep gratitude to all friends out there on LinkedIn for their collaboration, advice and support to me over the past years. I look forward to keeping in touch!
