Annette Hennessy,
OBE, is an experienced CEO and leader. She has an extensive track record of collaborative,
creative leadership in the criminal justice system and beyond, based on vision and
compassion. She is committed to changing mindsets and perceptions about leadership,
and this is demonstrated by her work with aspiring female leaders, and in supporting
those outside of mainstream communities in discovering their leadership potential.
Her achievements as CEO include developing a transformational approach to effecting
significant organisational change in Cumbria and Merseyside and leading the organisations
successfully through the transition from the public to the private sector. Merseyside
Probation Trust won a national award for UK Excellence from the British Quality
Foundation—a first for an organisation in the public sector. In 2014 she was awarded
an OBE for services to public protection and reducing reoffending.
In 2015 she began
a new phase of her career while continuing her commitment to transformational learning
and leadership. She is a member of the Board for Blackburne House, a pioneering
centre for education and social enterprise in Liverpool. She is also a Trustee of
Coaching Inside and Out, a creative organisation using life coaching to support
individuals in prison and the community. She is an Associate of Amara Collaboration
and one of the Amara Gardeners, a group of individuals whose goal is to discover
and increase the connections between aware leaders in the world. She is a qualified
social worker, Probation Officer, and ILM 7 coach, and has her own coaching practice.
She is a walker and gardener, and lives in the Lake District in Cumbria.
