Kelly has 14 years of journalistic experience gained in the BBC’s international news environment. Her experience of developing and implementing a major corporate online strategy from conception to delivery is coupled with hands-on experience of managing complex multilingual, multiplatform projects.
Her move to IDS in May 2011 was led by the desire to be as much involved in the process as the product. Her journalistic skills and editorial leadership enable her to see clarity in complex material and present it in compelling and relevant ways. Her current role is Head of Open Knowledge and Digital Services, Institute of Development Studies. Here she oversees a talented team who are responsible for developing and delivering evidence based knowledge products and mobilisation strategies aimed at reducing poverty in the Global South.
