John is a former Partner at McKinsey & Company and previously a director at NHS England with national responsibility for staff experience and engagement during the Covid pandemic.

“It’s a privilege to be appointed into this new role of Managing Director. I have been impressed by Good Faith’s work in mobilising civil society, the faith sector and businesses as a force for good in tackling some of society’s most intractable problems, and very much believe that there is lots of potential to build on this track record and experience. Local civil society and faith communities have a distinctive contribution to make, given they often have the motivation, capabilities and network of relationships to help meet the needs which other agencies might struggle to do on their own and to do so economically. I very much look forward to joining the team and doing what I can to help.”
