I’m an experienced arts manager having worked for the British Council, the Arts Council of Wales and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in addition to running my own consultancy.

Iwas Chair of the Finance Committee of Seren Books for fifteen years and am currently a trustee of Cynnal Cymru, the leading sustainable development charity in Wales and the Mervyn Burtch Trust.

I grew up in the Rhymney Valley before moving to London prior to overseas postings in Uganda and Kenya. I returned to Wales with my wife Sioned to bring up my children Gruffydd and Hedydd.
