About Get Digital
EXPERIENCED DIGITAL LEADERSHIP
Get Digital is me, Gareth Ellis-Thomas. I'm an independent digital transformation and innovation consultant specialising in the non-profit sector. I work directly with clients or as an associate via some like-minded agencies and companies.
I spent over a decade leading digital, transformation and innovation at a major UK charity, Prostate Cancer UK, as Director of Transformation & Technology and Head of Digital.
- I've successfully built business cases, budgets, teams and organisational momentum around the need for change
- I've worked closely with Chief Executives, Directors, Trustees, leaders, managers, experts, funders and commercial partners to make that change a reality
- I've been through and led many organisation wide strategies, planning and budgeting cycles, board meeting and committee sessions to understand how to overcome the invisible barriers to change.
