Along with my fellow trustees and staff of the New Economics Foundation I am heartbroken by the news that our wonderful chair, Lord Bob Kerslake, has passed away after a short battle with cancer.

I am delighted to announce today that Dr Dhananjayan (Danny) Sriskandarajah, the CEO of Oxfam GB is going to be our new CEO at the New Economics Foundation from January 2024, replacing Miatta Fahnbulleh. It was great to be involved in the recruitment process as part of the NEF Board.
