Our small, dedicated and highly skilled office team consists of two permanent, part-time members of staff. Both Tree and Claire have extensive charity and NFP experience.
They are supported by a committed and diverse volunteer trustee group, all of whom are senior IT professionals, and bring an extensive skillset to their roles.
Tree joined Charity IT Leaders in March 2019 and was appointed as their first CEO in May 2020, bringing over 16 years experience of working in the charity and NFP sector as a fundraiser and marketer. She is hugely proud of the work CITL does to support current and emerging charity technology leaders and to enable charities and NFPs to leverage the best outcomes from their technology and digital estate. She has focused on improving member engagement, delivering long-term, sustainable partnerships with sponsors and third parties, developing the brand and increasing external engagement and networks.
She is also openly autistic and ADHD and is passionate about supporting neurodivergence and inclusion in employment, and increasing opportunities and accessibility in the workplace. Both her children are neurodivergent, and she is committed to making the world a more welcoming, accessible place that enables them to achieve their full potential.
Claire joined Charity IT Leaders in July 2022, bringing with her over 17 years’ experience in the not-for-profit sector. She has had a varied career to date, spanning operational support, event organisation, internal learning and training, and the management of data and information systems.
As Business Manager, Claire is responsible for day-to-day operations, acting as the first point of contact for our members, as well as supporting our CEO and trustees in their roles. She oversees our general office and financial administration, supports our programme of events, and manages our member database and online forums.
Claire is passionate about customer service and ensuring that our members gain maximum benefit from their membership of Charity IT Leaders..
