New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) today announced the appointment of Dan Corry as its new chief executive, following the departure of Martin Brookes last month.

Corry is a public policy and economics expert who has worked in a variety of areas.

He was head of the Number 10 Policy Unit and senior adviser to the Prime Minister on the Economy from 2007 to 2010, and most recently, a director in the Economics segment of FTI Consulting.

NPC also welcomed the Baroness Stedman-Scott to its Board of Trustees.

Peter Wheeler, chair and co-founder of NPC, said: "I am very excited about our two new appointments. Dan has an impressive and wide-ranging background, including experience at the highest levels of Whitehall.

"He is ideally positioned to lead NPC, ensuring our consulting activities continue to help charities and donors to make the greatest difference possible, while stirring up debate and finding fresh solutions through our think tank work.

"Our board will also benefit from the depth of experience and insights that Debbie brings from her years heading a leading frontline charity."

In addition to working at senior levels of government, Corry ran the New Local Government Network think tank between 2002 and 2005 and was senior economist at the IPPR in the 1990s.

More recently in his role at FTI Consulting, Corry’s work included an analysis of the cost effectiveness of the Family Rights Group.

Corry is a thoughtful commentator and author on economic policy and public services, amongst other issues.

He is a Visiting Fellow at Southampton University, a trustee of the Spitalfields Centre Charity Trust and a Member of the Advisory Board of CentreForum, a liberal think tank.

Dan Corry said: "I am very excited to be taking the helm at NPC. The issues that NPC deals with are not only core to the business of charities and donors, but are at the heart of many debates about how we make our society stronger and fairer."
