Prior to joining CAF, Nour was part of the Strategy Unit at Nesta, a research and innovation foundation. At Nesta, she helped implement Nesta’s updated Strategy to 2030 across all three of the organisation’s missions: A Healthy Life, A Fairer Start and A Sustainable Future. She also worked with senior leaders to help refine and update Nesta’s annual strategy review process and advised on Nesta’s approach to scaling innovative social impact interventions across the UK.

Her work ranged from supporting multi-year strategic planning to leading specialised projects such as delivering large-scale change management across the programmes and fundraising departments. Before joining the IRC, Nour worked in strategic communications.

Outside work, Nour enjoys cooking and baking, strength training, and ceramics.

Why Nour works for Clean Air Fund

Air pollution and climate change have serious health and social consequences, especially for vulnerable communities. At Clean Air Fund, I feel privileged to help translate concern into solutions that make a lasting, meaningful impact worldwide.
