Clarity & Culture

about

Impact Unpacked was founded to help for-purpose organisations grow their impact by becoming more strategic, effective and resilient. 


My background combines scaling start ups, leading charities & social businesses, and advising on strategy, operations, governance  and culture.

 

I've navigated rapid growth, national and global expansion, complex change and closure within a broad range of sectors including health technology;  cognitive assessment; digital campaigning; sustainable food systems; housing and youth employment. 

 

This has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to start something up, and how to navigate transformation and change when things start to slow down. 

​

The work I love is supporting teams to think boldly about impact and translate their ambitions into operational reality.

Zoë Whyatt - CEO / Founder

  • "I found Zoe to have an excellent ability to lead and execute strategy with sound judgement and ongoing calculated risk management involving all key stakeholders from varied sectors including corporate, philanthropy, NFP and government. A strong suite of leadership capabilities is balanced with a calm and caring approach when dealing with people and teams enabled by a strong skill in communicating and engagement ensuring everyone is well informed and knows their responsibility in the delivery of the plan."

  • "Zoe is an incredibly thoughtful leader who is unafraid to ask fundamental questions of organisations in service of finding the most impactful way forward and brings the teams she works alongside with her every step of the way.  She led 38 Degrees through a period of cultural change with empathy, resilience and foresight. We worked closely together developing a new organisational strategy, engaging key stakeholders, commissioning research and testing of our approach and landing, ultimately, on an ambitious approach for the next 5 years."

  • "Zoë brings a start-up mentality that served us well. Her approach is innovative, iterative, and flexible, which allowed us to easily pivot when needed. Zoe led the organisation as we were developing a new strategy, which was a huge undertaking. Her focus and ability to drive forward multiple projects at once were critical in its success. She is incredibly resilient and compassionate ..and an excellent coach, helping me work through complex challenges while also empowering me to design my own solutions."

  • "Zoë led us during a period of significant internal change. Her thoughtfulness, patience and strategic thinking allowed us to exit this time of upheaval stronger, more effective and with greater clarity on our strategic direction combined with improved understanding of our mission and purpose."

  • "Zoe is an inspirational leader. She is supportive and extremely generous with her time. She always remains calm and finds creative solutions to problems. I have learnt a huge amount about managing internal and external relationships as well as how to drive business success."

  • "Zoe is an inspiring leader - she has the right balance of strong corporate leadership skills mixed with empathy and heart."

  • "We have never come close to a Salesforce implementation like this for the cost and time. It involved a lot of trust in both directions and that is an environment Zoë created."

  • Zoë has an ability to quickly assess any situation and  immediately prioritise and deal with the critical and strategic issues first.  Too many people waste both time and resources dealing with issues that are simply not important if you take a broader view of business goals and strategy.  She's willing to deal  with the hard issues and doesn't take shortcuts."
