Gill Townsend

I’ve spent 25+ years leading people, projects, and programs — building better ways of working and helping teams thrive. What drives me now is using those same skills to give back and create impact.

I’m passionate about collaboration, communication, and turning ideas into action. My background in technology, operations, and transformation has taught me that success comes from people — when they feel supported, heard, and empowered to do their best work.

I’m looking for a not-for-profit role where I can contribute my leadership and project experience to something that matters. Happy to consider full-time or part-time roles with purpose.

I’ve spent over 25 years leading programs, people, and transformation across global teams. My expertise spans PMO leadership, customer success, and operational improvement, but my real strength lies in bringing structure, empathy, and momentum to complex challenges. I’m now focused on using my experience to make a difference in the not-for-profit space, helping organisations deliver impact that matters.

I hold Advanced Diplomas in Program Management and Business, supported by certifications in Product Management and PRINCE2. I’ve also completed a wide range of leadership and professional development courses focused on communication, change, and team growth — reflecting my belief in continuous learning and improvement.
