John Poyton OBE
CEO ā¢ Advisor ā¢ Trustee
Hi, Iām John.
Social entrepreneur and CEO focused on scaling innovation and system change, with experience as a trustee and advisor across the voluntary and public sectors. Outside work Iām a dad of twins and a dog, usually training for something involving a bike, trainers, or water, and consuming audiobooks and podcasts at speed because sitting still has never really worked for me.
