Say Hi to the Team
Dr Louise Ellis-Jones, Founding Director
Hi, I'm Louise Ellis-Jones, the founder of Think EJ - hence the name. I have over 30 years sustainability and organisational leadership experience in both in-house and consultancy positions. Working at executive level, I have driven forward bold strategies and commitments, understanding how to translate these in to highly effective operating models whilst inspiring organisation-wide change.
I have had the privilege of working globally across multiple sectors - including education, energy, manufacturing, retail, professional services , finance, membership, charity and health. I thrive in complexity and helping clients to navigate uncertainty in a way which create purposeful change and long lasting value - financial, social and environmental. I have experience of developing strategy, reporting and disclosure, climates plans, organisational restructure and stakeholder management. I am passionate about supporting others to be Future Fit leaders and have experience of 1-1 and team mentoring and coaching.
I have significant experience of the education sector, in academic and senior leadership roles, including 18 years working at the University of Leeds. Beyond organisational leadership I have extensive experience of curriculum development and research development.
I'm incredibly proud and honoured to hold several Board, Trustee and Special Advisor positions, including being a Non-Executive Director at Harrison Spinks and working with University of Huddersfield Business School, the EAUC and Leeds Learning Alliance.
