Sue Turrell - Executive Director

Sue Turrell has been the Executive Director of WOMANKIND Worldwide since January 2007. Sue caught the development bug in her early twenties, during a year teaching sciences in a secondary school in Kenya. She lived and worked overseas for eight years, as a teacher, trainer, project manager and researcher in Kenya, Indonesia, Australia, the Gaza Strip and Zambia. After returning to the UK in 1997 she worked for Education Action International (where she is now a trustee) and Christian Aid where her last job was Head of Programmes in the Africa Division.

Sue worked her way up through the development sector gaining skills and experience in programme management; working with and through partner organisations, advocacy and campaigning work, fundraising, governance and accountability. She has a BA and MA in development and is presently studying for an MBA.
