Anna leads Collaborate CIC’s work with places across the country to build collaborative approaches to social change. This includes working with Local Strategic Partnerships to develop new place-based strategies and collaborative approaches to public services, convening actors from different sectors to build new coalitions for change, and supporting accompanying changes in practice and culture in organisations, services and places.

Anna has a background in policy and practice in central and local government. Prior to joining Collaborate, Anna spent 4 years as Head of Policy for the London Borough of Lambeth, where she helped lead strategy and innovation focused on shifting Lambeth’s operating model towards new models of collaborative public services.

She has designed and prototyped new approaches to community-based commissioning and ‘platform’ models to support community activity. Anna has also worked in think tanks and as a Special Advisor in two central government departments.
