Welcome
Lucy founded Philia International in 2009 with a mission to transform not-for-profit leadership. The company provides strategic advice to social-purpose and philanthropic organisations and individuals, specialising in board and executive coaching; board and organisational development; governance; and resource mobilisation.
Philia has supported a wide range of organisations and missions, including democratic resilience/free press/data commons and African Development (Afrobarometer, Chatham House, China Global South Project, New Impact, Royal African Society, Trust Africa), science and education (CERN, Switzerland), the arts (The Art Fund, Benaki Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery, National Museums Liverpool), environment (Bioversity International, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew), endangered culture (Firebird Foundation, USA) and poverty/human rights/conflict recovery (HALO Trust, International PEN, Lumos Foundation, Save the Children).
Thank you for the stellar education you gave the International PEN Board. In one day you moved us ahead five years. Your clear and easy style allowed us to absorb the vast knowledge you have of what a board can do and how it can be done. Despite the geographic and cultural differences of our members, who, as you know, come from all corners of the world, you found a way unify us in our understanding.
Eric Lax, Treasurer, International PEN
