Lisa West is Head of Policy, Partnerships and Public Affairs at Women in Sport and is a passionate advocate for gender equality. Lisa has worked in Local Authority, at Swim England and as a consultant, designing and delivering many projects across sport and leisure. Her 16 years in the sector enable a deep understanding of the system and how it needs to change to enable women and girls to thrive as participants, volunteers, professionals and, very importantly as leaders. Lisa believes whole heartedly in the power that sport and physical activity has to improve lives.
Having heard someone describe themselves once as an ‘enthusiastic amateur’ when it came to their sporting endeavours, Lisa has shamelessly used it since, regularly playing netball and taking on triathlons. Outside of work and sport Lisa is a School Governor and a member of the UK Coaching Advisory Group
