Commenting on her appointment, Emma said: 

“Scaling is the holy grail in the for-purpose world, so I can’t quite believe an organisation exists that has such deep expertise in how to achieve impact at scale.

“As Spring Impact’s work is expanding to help more mission-driven organisations and individuals scale up in ever more ambitious ways, there couldn’t have been a better time to welcome someone with such a strong and in-depth expertise in partnership building, social entrepreneurship, and innovation. I am delighted to have Emma join the team to help us achieve our mission and support us to amplify our own impact.”
