Anna Mouser

Anna Mouser is a multidisciplinary expert at the intersection of public policy, innovation, and systems change. She has a proven track record of pioneering new initiatives and driving change in roles across government, philanthropy and the voluntary sector.  Anna curates the Leading the Impossible programme for the Leadership Centre and co-leads the Innovative Places Leadership Academy in collaboration with the Connected Places Catapult. She also serves as a senior associate at the Innovation Unit, Impossible Ideas and director of the Point People. 

Before joining the Leadership Centre as an enabler Anna led vaccine policy at the Wellcome Trust across the pandemic where she played a pivotal role in establishing the Vaccine Information Hub, which became one of the most widely syndicated sources of Covid-19 vaccine information internationally to counter misinformation. Her past achievements include advocacy work which supported the first older people’s pension in Zanzibar, the removal of 200 million tonnes of carbon from the EU emissions trading scheme and running what was at the time, the largest volunteering day in care homes across London for the startup she founded, Spots of Time.  As a freelance consultant, Anna has co-designed transformative initiatives like the Systems Changers program for Lankelly Chase working with frontline workers, delivered research on social finance systems for the Cabinet Office, and led co-design processes for how to create preventative systems of healthcare to reduce A&E admissions and crisis social care. 

Anna’s career reflects a lifelong curiosity and passion for what enables positive change and what keeps things stuck as they are. She is fascinated by how personal change interacts with organisational and system change.  Her focus in her current work is enabling leaders and organisations to work with ‘possibility’ in complex and stuck systems, to break through entrenched challenges and to work towards more radical change.
