Tommy Stewart has been active in leadership within the private, public and voluntary sector for 37 years. He holds a Master’s degree in Missional Leadership, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, along with Post Graduate Diplomas in Management and in Pastoral Leadership. Tommy is currently completing his Doctorate in Christian Leadership.

After spending 15 years managing Christian organisations, employability programmes and local government services Tommy launched a consultancy company in 2002 that provided research, strategy development and evaluation services, for public, private and voluntary sector organisations. In recent years, this has led him to become increasingly involved in advising missional organisations, churches and denominations, both locally and globally. 

Tommy has served as a trustee and leadership advisor at national and international level with a number of organisations including Bible Society Northern Ireland, Youth for Christ Northern Ireland, Youth for Christ International (Trustee and Chair of Governance) and Drop Inn Ministries (Director). Additionally, he provides advisory support to a number of Christian led businesses, to help them grow in scale and profitability, so that they can increase their giving to Christian causes globally.

Tommy’s primary focus is encouraging, equipping and empowering Christians who lead in the workplace, the community and the church through ‘Transform the World’, a charity he founded in 2018, that has now become a global movement, engaging with leaders in 30+ nations each month. 

Along with his wife Roberta, they were involved in senior church leadership for the 25+ years, including pastoral, teaching and church planting roles for denominational and non-denominational churches. In 2022 Tommy stepped back from local church leadership to focus on the global development of Transform the World.

Roberta and Tommy have three sons, now in their 20’s and 30’s: Simon, Daniel and Thomas. They live in Northern Ireland and are members of their local Elim church.
