Dan Reynolds
Dan is the Operational Lead at Grow Transform Belong (GTB), leading on UK and international criminal justice culture projects and leadership development aligned with the vision of #Justice2point0.

Dan’s areas of expertise include:
- Leadership coaching and development for middle managers

Dan’s professional background includes frontline experience as a Prison Officer, Conflict Resolution Practitioner in the youth estate, and Rehabilitative Culture & Equalities Lead within HMPPS.

He is a trusted contributor to leadership teams and a strong advocate for justice spaces that genuinely work for everyone.
