Hello! I'm Jane Van de Ban
​
I’m an experienced content specialist and negotiator, specialising in stakeholder management and engagement.
​
Over 25 years in the UK public sector (University of London and Government Digital Service), I moved from hands-on content editing and design into strategic leadership, where I led on big projects, while supporting and empowering my teams. For 20 of those years, I was also a senior union activist and lead negotiator on important changes like restructuring, redundancies, pay, terms and conditions. My ability to negotiate well literally changed people’s lives.
In 2023, I decided to stop working for others and start working for myself, so that I could focus on the things I care about. I am passionate about content design and passionate about people. I aim to teach and support content designers to develop the skills they need to deliver content that is truly user-centred, while balancing institutional needs.
