Founder & CEO, Goal17 & Wowment | Chair, Institute for Social Value | Building AI, trusted human networks & social innovation at scale | Non-Exec Director

Today is a big moment for the Institute for Social Value Over the last few months, as a board we’ve had some honest conversations about where the sector is heading and what the ISV needs to be to truly serve it. Social value is at a crossroads: full of potential, but at risk of fragmentation and misunderstanding if leadership and standards aren’t strengthened. That’s why today we’ve launched the recruitment process for a new Chief Executive — a leader who can bring clarity, structure, and ambition to a space that desperately needs it. This isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to help shape the future of how social value is understood, governed, and delivered across the UK. I’m incredibly proud of the direction we’re taking and excited to welcome someone who can carry this forward with fresh energy and purpose. If you know someone who could be the right fit, I’d love your help in sharing.
