Elizabeth Parker

Elizabeth is a Senior Consultant at NPC specialising in Impact investing. She is an experienced project and programme manager having worked across a range of sectors (housing, urban planning, healthcare, humanitarian response) and geographies (Australasia, South America, South East Asia, Europe). Originally trained and practiced as an architect, Elizabeth went on to complete an additional MA in Development and Emergency Practice at Oxford Brookes University. She has since worked for Arup International Development, was co-founder of the consultant network Stet and had a previous role as the Evaluation and Learning Principal at NPC.

Elizabeth has more than 15 years experience leading teams to undertake various research projects and evaluations to inform strategy and policy change. For example, evaluating the MacArthur Foundations Catalytic Capital impact investing initiative, gathering learnings from the Connect Fund–a partnership between the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Access Foundation and with Action Against Hunger to support their Community Engagement strategy.

Elizabeth’s experience includes providing strategic and governance advice, as well as detailed guidance such as due diligence, indicator development, and analysis. She has also worked directly with investment funds, for example the MAN Group’s Community Housing Fund as an Impact partner. She is particularly interested in working with clients to best support the embedding of research learnings into future policy and practice.
