Ben Jackson

I'm Ben, and I'm the Chief Executive of Bond, the civil society network for global change, bringing people together to make the international development community ore effective.

Since February 2012, my key ambition has been to ensure Bond acts as the uniting force for the strength, influence and effectiveness of UK international development organisations.

Before Bond, I've been the UK Director of Crisis Action, which convenes international coalitions to protect civilians in conflict.

With 25 years of experience in the public and private sectors, and in Whitehall and Westminster, I've worked in senior communications, policy and campaigning positions including as Director of Communications and Campaigns at Shelter, Director at Action for Southern Africa, Head of Campaigns at the World Development Movement, and Associate Director at Forster Communications.
