Away from MapAction Ian is also a Board Member of the H2H Network, a Geneva based non-profit which helps a wide range of small and innovative specialist humanitarian service providers to make the global humanitarian system more effective.

A slow but persistent jogger, Ian completed his only marathon recently enough that he still mentions it. A lot. He is also a youth football coach whose team once went two seasons with just one win, which came on the final day of the second season. He was not sacked.

He has not been remotely close to such a rank since.
