Director for Advisory Services: Fenella Rouse
Having graduated from Exeter University, Fenella Rouse took a law degree at Columbia Law School in New York, and was called to the New York and US Federal bars in 1983. She was briefly a maritime lawyer and then, preferring to be in the not-for-profit world, she became attorney and then CEO to two associated national organisations working for the rights of patients at the end of their lives. During this time she had extensive first-hand experience in running growing and eventually merging not-for-profits. Following that, Fenella was for ten years CEO of the Mayday Fund and The Kornfeld Foundation, grant-making foundations based in New York which focus on medical ethics and education, and a consultant to a number of families and individuals starting or involved in philanthropic programmes. She returned permanently to London in 2001. A qualified mediator, she is a member of the The Funding Network and the Network for Social Change and a trustee of the Prairie Trust. She is a volunteer with Legal Action for Women (LAW) and other projects based at the Crossroads Women's Centre in Kentish Town.
