About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

Carla leads the events and internal communications teams, helping to deliver our communications strategy through a programme of engaging live and digital events.

Prior to Nesta, Carla worked in the commercial events sector as Head of Event Strategy, Operations and Client Services for Haymarket Media Group where she worked on events for business-to-business titles Campaign, Third Sector, PRWeek, C&IT, Event, WindPower Monthly, Ends, GP and MIMS. There, she was responsible for the delivery of over 100 live and digital events a year.

Outside of work, Carla loves sushi, her twin daughters, learning British Sign Language and her two huge Maine cats. Although, not necessarily in that order.
