Born in 1968, Jayne Ozanne works as a strategic management consultant, helping companies and charities look at their communication, marketing and change management issues.

She has recently completed a one year Visiting Research Fellowship within the Department for International Development at Oxford Unviersity, where amongst other things she researched "The Influence of Christianity in Great Britain on the UK Decision to go to War with Iraq in 2003".  This followed a year of post graduate study in International Diplomacy, a course which forms part of the University's Foreign Service Programme for diplomats, at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Jayne has had an interesting and varied career, which had its origins in the international world of blue chip FMCG marketing.  She has had the privilege of managing many of Europe's best-known brands such as Fairy Liquid, Lenor, Kleenex and Huggies. In 1996 she was asked by the BBC to help set up a new marketing department within BBC television, working with the Controllers to develop and implement marketing plans for BBC1 and BBC2 as well as overseeing plans for the new satellite and digital TV channels.

In 1998, Jayne was appointed to the Archbishops' Council, a group of 19 people chaired by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.  This new body was formulated to oversee the policy and resources of the Church of England, and as such sought to give strategic direction to the work of the central Church bodies. As a result of this appointment, she was asked to join various Boards and Councils within the Church of England, including the Church of England's Appointments Committee, the Communications Board, the Board of Mission and the Board of Social Responsibility - which merged in 2002 to form the Board of Mission and Public Affairs.   She has also served as a Trustee on numerous charities, including Trinity Theologoical College in Bristol, and the Church of England Newspaper.

During her time on the Archbishops' Council, Jayne sought to become a bridge between the Church of England and the wide range of para-church organisations, helping them work together towards a common set of goals. In 2003, with the support of the Archbishops, she brought together the six largest mission agencies to produce the award winning "Restoring Hope in Our Church" video project, which was also used extensively by many of the other denominations in the UK.

She has spent much time lobbying within Parliament, bringing together Christian groups/individuals to work with MPs and Peers on key social issues. Notably, she drew together all Christian parties concerned with the 2003 Communications Bill in order to lobby the government over the disqualification of Christians from holding broadcast licenses.  She also helped form a coalition that campaigned against reclassification of cannabis.

In September 2004 she launched a new international aid charity, the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust, with the Baroness Cox of Queensbury.  Shortly after she was asked to set up another international charity for Lord Carey of Clifton and Canon Andrew White, to further their ground breaking work in the Middle East.  The Foundation for Reconciliation in the Middle East launched in the House or Lords in June 2005, and serves to bring the three major Abrahamic faiths together to enable them to work for peace in Israel/Palestine and Iraq.

Many will know Jayne as an international speaker, and a keen musician. Her first sermon found her short-listed for the 1999 Preacher of the Year, which has resulted in a growing number of opportunities to speak in various conferences, churches and retreats both at home and abroad.

Originally from Guernsey, Jayne has never lost her love of the sea and so tries to spend whatever spare time she has either in it, on it or under it!
