New Chief Executive Appointed
Over the past three months Union of UEA Students has been working hard to recruit a new chief executive. We are pleased to announce that the position will be filled by Richard Powell OBE.
Richard’s experience within the third sector will contribute to the Union's new position as a charity. Throughout the recruitment process we have been pleased to see his ability to innovate and to drive strategy in the organisation.
Rob Bloomer, Chair of the Board of Trustees said.
“Richard will be an excellent addition to the management team at the Union. Throughout the interview process I have been consistently impressed with his people management skills, strategic ability and his ability to innovate and fundraise. Through his contacts in a wide variety of environmental committees and initiatives, along with his personal experience, I envisage us really developing as the exemplar low carbon Union that we aim to be. Richard’s passion for the job was evident throughout, and I very much look forward to working with him when he begins his role.”
