Janette Searle
Janette is a serial social entrepreneur, founder of Take My Hands, and co-founder and Development Manager for the A @ W Collective Impact Initiative.
She applies her business knowledge, models and practice to her work in the social change space. She works both on her own businesses and initiatives, and supports other clients in their efforts to be more efficient and effective at creating social change.
She has a wide and varied career working in the creative, health, and not for profit sectors and is driven by the belief that cross sector collaboration is the key to long term sustainable social change. She also believes that to drive that cross sector collaboration its vital that the languages between sectors be translated so that everyone is on the same page. Data is a massive part of that ‘language translation’. Alongside this she has been promoting the importance of holding ‘impact value’ as highly as ‘financial value’ in business, and again data, and the ability to use it, to translate social and environmental outcomes into the language of business is vital.
