Sandi Marshall

Sandi Marshall has been a charity CEO for the last 5 years, most recently as CEO of Beacon Counselling, a Stockport-based mental health and wellbeing charity. At Beacon, Sandi recently negotiated a merger with a larger charity in order to ensure the continuation of services. The merger involved a commitment to collaborative working and some brave decision-making that focused on the needs of the people Beacon supports.

Sandi also has several years of charity Trustee experience, and is currently a member of the Trustee Board for Sector 3, Stockport’s VCFSE infrastructure support charity.

Sandi is a coach for senior leaders, after completing training to support her development in her CEO role. She brings her creativity and her range of experience to her leadership roles, and maintains her own creative practice through jewellery-making and writing.

This event will be hosted by MBA alumna Claire-Marie Boggiano, Lurig Change & Development.
