Anne Mundy
Anne is a serial entrepreneur and successful delivery manager in cyber engineering, driven by a desire to use her technological talents for good. She studied General and Manufacturing Engineering at Cambridge University, earning a distinction in her Master of Engineering degree. During her time at Cambridge, she launched her first two businesses, including an "any text" reader that produced braille output for blind individuals, which attracted funding offers. After Cambridge, Anne received leadership and management training in the Royal Air Force, graduating with Merit from her officer training.
She then honed her business skills at an engineering consultancy that operated on a performance-based payment model, teaching her to deliver tangible business outcomes under pressure and at speed.
Charitable Endeavors
Motivated to make a positive impact, Anne established Yoga Quota, a charity combining her consulting experience with her passion for yoga. The organization's unique model committed to providing one yoga class for a vulnerable person for every 50 paying students. Yoga Quota achieved significant success:
Network of 140 yoga teachers paid to do charity classes
over 50 charity partners benefiting from yoga
3 studios
A teacher training subsidiary
Thousands of charity yoga classes delivered across the UK
When the pandemic forced the charity to close, Anne ensured its legacy continued by selling the trading arm and donating all assets to Mind Oxfordshire, earning Yoga Quota an award for Corporate Donation of the Year from Mind.
