Prior to UnLtd, Madeleine spent nine years at public policy consultancy Shared Intelligence, where she carried out research and evaluation for a wide range of clients in local and central government, the NHS, non-departmental public bodies and charities, working on everything from health inequalities and social investment to libraries and public toilet provision.
