I joined the Carnegie UK Trust as Chief Executive in November 2009 having been the Director of Consumer Focus in Scotland, the advocacy body formed through the merger of the Scottish Consumer Council, Postwatch and energywatch. Prior to the merger I was, for 11 years, the Director of the Scottish Consumer Council, a consumer research and policy organisation.
My career before saw me spend five years as the Director of Shelter Scotland and then the Chief Executive of Citizens Advice Scotland for a further five years.
I was visiting professor of law at the University of Strathclyde from 2002 and remain a member of a number of Scottish Government and UK Government advisory groups.
