Francesca J. Colloca is an east London-based ‘Head of Innovation’ who’s spent her career making change happen in various settings. From her early days in grassroots community development and community organising, to working in social housing, social enterprise and high street regeneration, through to regional master planning and economic development - making a positive difference to place, people, planet and economy is what guides her work.
As a political sociologist by training, and a yoga practitioner by virtue of her spiritual exploration, she tries to bring the pursuit of solutions and the art of the possible to her everyday collaborations. Francesca is an award winning project manager and strategist, currently heading up SHIFT – east London’s Innovation Agency based at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
