Ellie Hale is a purpose-driven tech-for-good leader with 11 years' experience building communities, programs, and startups that amplify equitable technology. As Co-Executive Director of Catalyst Network and former lead at CAST, she designs and runs learning programmes, networks, and agile service projects that help charities and civic groups embed digital practice. She combines community strategy with hands-on tinkering—prototyping in HTML5, WordPress and Meteor.js—and brings a communicator’s eye from her PR and account-management background. Ellie also co-founded a wellness food startup, sells at local markets, and even works as a tower crane operator, reflecting a pragmatic, cross-sector approach to problem solving. Based in Brighton, she blends academic rigour (Oxford BA) with grassroots organising to make technology more imaginable and useful for underserved organisations.
