She works with senior leaders to prepare for high-stakes engagements, such as Select Committee appearances and ministerial meetings, and mentors team members to strengthen policy, public affairs and campaigning capability across organisations.

“I am really grateful for the timing of our work with Principle. As an incoming CEO just ahead of the General Election, Jane and the Principle team have been insightful, focused and engaging in supporting us to prepare for the election and quickly position ourselves with the new Government. Importantly they have helped communicate the Nationwide Foundation’s work on housing effectively to quickly gain traction and influence. I know I speak on behalf of the Foundation team in our gratitude for Jane’s support.”
