Background

About Dot Newman

Educated at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, I initially specialised in Entomology and was awarded a doctorate in 2006. I lived in Cote d’Ivoire for several years during the civil war, working on various projects and then briefly in Ghana, before moving back to London to pursue a career in property. Working as a property manager, I handled high-profile schemes for clients around The Olympic Park and Canary Wharf. I became a member of the Institute of Residential Property Management and won the Brethertons Law Prize in 2011. I then moved to managing systems and operations for multi-award-winning City-based Managing Agent, Rendall and Rittner Limited. In 2015 I was appointed to the Senior Management Team, which I chaired for 18 months between May 2016 and September 2018. In 2019 I became a Director at Dwellant, working on implementing our best-in-class software across the residential block management industry, as well as working with commercial and international clients. Following the acquisition of the company by Odevo Group I became the COO. In October 2012, I was elected to fellowship of The Linnean Society, and I am also a volunteer reservist for a charity which supports multiple organisations including the City of London Police, The Westminster Coroner and The London Resilience Forum.
