<p>Dolen Cymru, a beacon of international partnership and solidarity, stands as a testament to the power of global connections. Based in Cardiff, this organisation embodies the spirit of mutual learning and support, bridging Wales and Lesotho in a unique bond that spans decades. Through educational, health, and environmental projects, Dolen Cymru fosters sustainable development and cultural exchange, proving that when communities come together, change is not just possible—it&#8217;s inevitable. Their commitment to ethical and transparent operations has made them a model for international cooperation, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps of cross-cultural collaboration.</p>



<p>Serving as a board member for Dolen Cymru offered me a cherished opportunity to contribute to an organisation whose core mission resonates deeply with my own values. This role was not just about governance; it was about being part of a collective effort to ensure that Dolen Cymru&#8217;s projects not only succeeded but thrive. Together, we focused on setting strategic goals, developing policies, and overseeing financial and operational activities, all while ensuring compliance and ethical integrity. It is a collaboration that goes beyond mere oversight, aiming to increase access to opportunities and knowledge between Wales and Lesotho, thus actualising a more interconnected and empathetic world.</p>

<p>Bulb Energy was a beacon of innovation in the retail energy sector, committed to providing affordable, renewable energy to homes across the UK. As a champion for sustainability, Bulb has not only prioritised environmental responsibility but also placed a strong emphasis on customer service and transparency. Their dedication to making green energy accessible to all has set new standards in the energy industry, and made them a beloved brand among eco-conscious consumers. Unfortunately the energy crisis of 2022 left the business unable to maintain operations, it became the first company in UK history to enter special administration at which point I was brought in.</p>



<p>My engagement at Bulb was cantered around collaborative leadership during a pivotal transition period. In an interim role, I steered the existing product and lead on a post-sale transformation, focused on securing taxpayer value and ensuring a seamless customer migration. My efforts led to the rapid deployment of government support worth £600m to customers, a testament to the power of teamwork and strategic agility. This period was about more than stewardship; it was about setting a course towards becoming an independent SaaS company Zoa and laying the groundwork for future innovation.<br></p>

<p>The AA, a household name in the UK, stands as a beacon of trust and reliability in roadside assistance and insurance services. With a rich heritage of helping motorists in need, The AA has evolved to incorporate cutting-edge digital solutions, enhancing their service delivery and customer experience. Their commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction has solidified their status as a leader in the automotive services industry, continually setting new standards for safety, convenience, and efficiency on the road.</p>



<p>My collaboration with The AA was a transformative journey, steering a comprehensive digital makeover that redefined driving services.

Leading a cross-functional team, we established a product-led organizational structure for the driving services division, driving significant advances including significant increases in web sales and  improvement in customer retention.
