About me
Hannah joined the Kielder Observatory team in January 2022 as Operations and Marketing Director and Deputy CEO. She has worked predominantly in the creative industries for the last 10 years, with detours into digital industries and innovation projects, but with every role having development, relationships and communications at its heart. She has worked as a CEO of the UK’s leading music talent development Agency (Generator), as an Innovation Partnerships Developer at Manchester Metropolitan University, and was part of the core team tasked with delivering Sunderland’s bid to be the UK City of Culture 2021 and the cultural renaissance of the city. She is a seasoned fundraiser and development manager, having raised the money for small community focused projects to large capital projects, as well as those aimed at promoting business growth and innovation. Her passion for the arts and anything that’s slightly out of the ordinary (this is where Space comes in!) has enabled her to pursue a varied career where she never wants to stop learning something new and help support teams of people to achieve their goals.
