Iona joins the Charity from NPC, bringing a wealth of experience in analysing the charitable sector and advising charities and funders on improving their effectiveness. An expert in her field, Iona has researched a myriad of topics and delivered training on charity strategy, social investment, and strategic analysis. She is also a regular commentator on issues facing the sector, and appeared on BBC Television News, Radio 4, and The Guardian.
Iona said: “I have had a great 16 years at NPC supporting the social sector to grow and develop approaches to impact, strategy and governance. I’ve learnt a vast deal from colleagues in NPC and our clients. Whilst sad to leave NPC, I am excited to be joining the Kings College Hospital Charity team and to have the opportunity to put my NPC experience into practice.
Gail Scott-Spicer, Chief Executive at King’s College Hospital Charity, said “we are delighted to have somebody of Iona’s calibre coming aboard at such a pivotal time for the Charity. Moving into our third year as an independent charity, we’ve made great advancements in our fundraising and philanthropic activities, and this is a critical time to ensure the grants we’re awarding are making a real and meaningful difference to our patients, to our staff, and to our hospitals. As a specialist in health and disability, Iona is the perfect fit, and we can’t wait to welcome her to the team.”
