Jessica has over ten years experience in the industry and, for the last two years, has been Executive Director and Joint Chief Executive of the Lyric Hammersmith, West London's leading off west end theatre. Jessica began her career at Northern Stage in Newcastle as their first ever full-time fundraiser. Following this she became Head of Development of the Brighton Festival and Dome and was involved in the £21m redevelopment of the Dome performing arts complex. She then moved to London and to the Lyric, originally appointed as Head of Development, then Director of Communications responsible for marketing, touring and fundraising, and now Executive Director. Jessica is also involved in a number of non executive roles including being a Board member of the touring company, Told By An Idiot, and a Board member for ‘Hammersmith London’, the Business Improvement Programme for central Hammersmith.
Jessica is passionate about theatre and has a good understanding of producing, presenting and touring theatre both in London and across the UK. She also brings a specialist knowledge of arts fundraising, marketing and venue management. She believes the TMA has a vital role to play in providing advice and advocacy for the sector and is personally very interested in strengthening ways for arts professionals to share their concerns and achievements and learn from good practice.
