Dr Hannah Collins

Executive Coach, Leadership Partner, Strategy, Change and Complex Organisations

Hannah is an experienced executive coach, facilitator and leadership partner who brings more than 18 years of senior leadership experience across strategy, organisational change, sustainability, policy, innovation and stakeholder engagement.

Having operated at senior levels within UK Research and Innovation, Hannah understands first hand the realities of leading in complex, high profile and mission driven environments. Her experience includes leading organisation wide strategy development for a £330 million annual national research funder, influencing government policy and investment, building cross sector partnerships and guiding leaders and teams through significant organisational and cultural change.

Hannah combines this real world leadership credibility with executive coach training from Henley Business School. Her warm, energising and thoughtful approach creates the trust and space leaders need to think clearly, challenge their assumptions and explore new perspectives, while maintaining a strong focus on meaningful outcomes and practical action.

She works particularly effectively with technical experts moving into leadership, senior leaders navigating complex stakeholder environments and individuals seeking to strengthen their confidence, influence and impact. Her coaching supports leaders to develop greater self awareness, improve decision making, build stronger relationships and lead with increased clarity and purpose.

As a facilitator and team coach, Hannah helps leadership teams strengthen collaboration, psychological safety and shared purpose. She brings an evidence based and commercially grounded approach, combining strategic insight with a deep understanding of people, systems and organisational dynamics.

Hannah’s style is warm, curious and appropriately challenging. She acts as a trusted thinking partner, helping leaders make sense of complexity, access their strengths and translate insight into purposeful action.
