  • Ruth

    I'm the Hito host and alongside hosting I'll be delivering my own specialist course on conquering imposter syndrome.

    Originally from Bradford, I was a senior teacher in a South Manchester state school and supported young people in obtaining some of the best GCSE results in the country.

    Since then, I've started several small powerful organisations, RECLAIM, The Roots Programme, Rekindle School and Northern Soul Consultancy, all based around increasing levels of social justice and challenging established systems designed to marginalise diverse populations.

    Ruth's other career highlights:

    - UK Fellow - Ashoka

    - 2013 Fellow - Clore Social Leadership Programme

    - Trustee - Virgin Money Foundation

  • Jake

    I’ll be delivering specialist courses focused on communications to help improve how you connect with others in the workplace.

    I've spent almost two decades advising some of the world’s most generous families on how philanthropic capital can help drive transformation. I previously served as CEO to philanthropy advisory firm Ten Years’ Time, and most recently founded Impatience Earth, a pro-bono consultancy firm helping donors become more confident about climate philanthropy.

    I'm passionate about making sure that everyone gets a chance to show their talents in the workplace and are able to understand, navigate and even disrupt some of the unspoken codes of more privileged workplaces.

    Previously, I worked in education across a number of roles in schools and the third sector, including as Director of Programmes for education charity Future First, and Director of Partnerships at the pioneering state school, School 21, in East London.

    I am passionate about how great organisational culture can lead to efficient, high-quality delivery in the public sector.
