Knowledge Exchange Manager
Joining the Institute for Community Studies in 2023, Jacob leads work focused on supporting anchor institutions to develop deeper more integrated relationships, aimed at enabling greater knowledge-sharing and strategic thinking.
Prior to this, he has worked for Local Government, the Local Government Association, and the Climate Change Committee, focusing on net zero skills and employment policy.
Away from work, Jacob spends his time taking advantage of the amazing natural spaces near his home, heading to Dartmoor to walk and to the coast to surf and swim whenever possible.
