About and Experience

Felicity has enjoyed a varied career to date, which includes 24 years working for the John Lewis Partnership, up to the Senior role of Head of Democratic Engagement, Waitrose.

Felicity is a conscientious, engaging and collaborative consultant. She enjoys working with groups of people and on her own, across a diverse set of briefs. As the Owner and Founder of Oyster Outcomes, she truly believes that people have the answers to the problems they are trying to solve – they may just need some expert support in discovering and implementing solutions.
