As a professional, I have worked in marketing, public relations, sports management and fundraising. I co-founded Riders for Health, together with my husband, Barry Coleman, in 1996. The organisation is now 26 years old and operating nationally in four countries, working with ministries of health and other health focussed entities. The programmes in Africa have been African led from the outset and my work and focus now is to give resource support for the African leadership and to seek, with them, ways to have their authentic voices heard about their valuable health systems operations at the established global health level.
Together with two social entrepreneurs, Mel Young and Chris Underhill, we have founded the Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurship.
