Kendraio Foundation

I work at the intersection of partnerships, communications, funding and ecosystem building, with a particular interest in how technology can support more collaborative, equitable and human-centred systems. At Kendraio Foundation, I help build partnerships and develop opportunities around our work as a nonprofit, community-led research organisation exploring new approaches to digital infrastructure. Kendraio develops free and open-source tools that give people greater control over their data, interfaces and digital workflows, with applications across areas including climate action, humanitarian response, music rights, nuclear disarmament and other public-interest challenges. A large part of my work involves connecting people and organisations across sectors, identifying areas of shared purpose, and helping turn those connections into meaningful collaboration. My wider mission is to contribute to systems where technology strengthens human agency rather than reducing it, and where knowledge, resources and opportunities can move more effectively between people working towards positive change. I believe many of the challenges we face cannot be addressed by organisations working in isolation, and I am particularly interested in the role that open infrastructure, partnerships and strong ecosystems can play in enabling collective action. My vision is for a more connected and collaborative ecosystem in which people have greater agency over the technologies they use and where organisations can work across traditional boundaries to build solutions that create lasting social and environmental value.
