Naomi Alderson

Deputy Director of External Affairs

About

Naomi has held senior roles at The Careers & Enterprise Company, Department for Education, C40 Cities, and L’Oréal HQ, where she advised Ministers, Mayors, and CEOs on public engagement and policy influence. She brings over 13 years’ experience in shaping policy, leading strategic communications, and building high-impact partnerships across government, non-profit, and corporate sectors.  Naomi’s work is driven by her commitment to equity, inclusion, and creating opportunities for young people.

Based in South East London, Naomi is a proud toddler mum and unabashed francophile. Having lived and studied in Paris, she brought home a lasting love for French culture, especially the baked goods. When she’s not juggling mum life, she’s keeping up with current affairs, discovering new gigs, or indulging in a pastry or two.

As Deputy Director of External Affairs, Naomi leads our Public Affairs and Communications teams.
