The Feedback Team
United Kingdom
Jamie Spencer- Director
BA Hons Anthropology
Founder of Feedback Madagascar.
Jamie works as part of our team of volunteers in the UK and leads Madventure tours visiting project sites in Madagascar. Following a BA in Anthropology and French, researching Lemurs in the Malagasy rainforest and a stint with a classic internationally driven development/conservation project he was looking for a more homegrown model to tackle problems in Madagascar.
With Malagasy partners he founded Feedback and worked full-time for 10 years. He has since been working for other non-profit organisations and private companies specialising in business development, fundraising, ethical commerce and responsible tourism. He believes good work takes good people and is extremely proud of the Feedback team.
