Professional Experience

Ivan began his career working in contemporary art and, since 2002, has been engaged in research and practice that explores how cultural activity may be used to promote urban regeneration. Under this banner, he has devised detailed strategies on behalf of both private and public sector clients. These strategies have resulted in programmes designed to address a given places’ most intractable social, economic and environmental problems. Ivan’s strengths are as a strategic thinker, a creative mind and client centric business manager; he is highly articulate both in the written and spoken word. Through academic study and practical experience, he has been able to develop a range of key supporting skills. These are research, community engagement, evaluation and project management. 

Ivan also writes extensively on related subjects and is a regular contributor to a range of regeneration and property publications and periodicals including, Regeneration + Renewal, Estates Gazette, Property Week and New Start (The Magazine of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies).
