Bio

I joined Founders Pledge in October 2026 as People Director. Prior to that, I worked in Global B2B events, for various tech start ups including what3words, and in publishing (Reach PLC, Random House). I have a Masters in HR Management, and a BA in English Literature (in case you're wondering what you can do with it).

In my free time, I love reading, listening to music, running, and food and drink - both cooking and eating.

Q&A with Alys

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Definitely the late Princess Margaret. Think of the scurrilous stories!

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

An actress or a session musician. Am not nearly skilled enough in either.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

I'd love it to be a 70s style Folk Horror where I could be played by the epic Georgia Tennant. Lots of quirky characters and people wearing paisley.
