“I worked with Lisa during her time as Chair of Chamber Music Scotland, where she steered the organisation through a challenging period of change. Lisa skilfully navigated through this change management and was instrumental in the diversification of the board of trustees. During her time, we saw a significant increase in income generation, as well as development of the reach of our work and reputation within the sector. Lisa is skilled at leading and managing a board, ensuring processes are clear and that all voices are heard. She has a keen awareness of how she can support and get the best out of staff.”
