“Craig is one of mine and Scope’s trusted advisers as we moved forward an ambitious and radical new strategy for the organisation. Craig understands how the world is changing and how charities need to reshape in the face of it.”
Mark Atkinson,
Chief Executive of Scope
“Craig is the rarest of animals: a volunteer who became a successful charity entrepreneur, who became a successful private sector entrepreneur, who moonlighted as politician, and who has advised or helped build dozens of companies, social enterprises, charities, and trusts. Throughout it all—even the politics—he has maintained a ferocious commitment to sharing what he has learned, to listening to diverse voices, and doing all of it with a fundamental candor. In addition to collaborating with me on several organisations we mutually support, Craig has advised and lectured students of mine from the Universities of Cambridge and Illinois to rave reviews”
Professor Noah Isserman,
University of Illinois
