The past few weeks have given us the opportunity to step back through our mid-year Trustee meetings and reflect on everything we have achieved toge…

At the halfway point, it is worth reviewing the five global strategic objectives we set ourselves for 2026.

Approaching the halfway point of 2026, the lesson of the month is that the best decisions are rarely made in isolation.

Each month I step back and ask: are we moving the dial on our three missions?

Across the Pharo Foundation, teams have started 2026 at a gallop.

If last year was about setting the platform, this year is about delivery.

November has been one of the busiest months of the year, deep in the Planful rollout.

October marked an important milestone as we welcomed colleagues from Pharo Management.

September has been a month of momentum across our schools, ventures and global partnerships.

August has been a month of renewed energy, with colleagues returning from their breaks.

What does operational excellence really mean? At its core: the continuous pursuit of improvement.

As we close the first half of 2025, I see real momentum across the Foundation.

As we approach the halfway point of the year, May has been a month of sharpening our focus.

April has been another energising month, as we continue to build momentum through 2025.

March has been another energising month, as we close the first quarter of 2025 with strong momentum.

I spent the first half of February in beautiful Somaliland with our amazing team.

What a fantastic start to 2025! My year began in Rwanda, meeting another incredible team.

New Year, new life? I have the pleasure of kicking off the year by introducing our new CEO.
