We at POhWER are pleased to announce Vicky Browning, OBE, as our new interim Chief Executive.

Vicky is a respected voluntary sector leader who headed up civil society leadership body ACEVO as Chief Executive for over five years from January 2017 to June 2022.

Vicky played a key role in developing a cross-sector collaboration which secured £750m in Treasury funding for charities at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2023 she was awarded an OBE for services to the charity sector.

She will take up the interim CEO role at POhWER on 2 January 2024 for an initial period of six months. 

Announcing the appointment, Antony Kildare, Chair of POhWER’s Board of Trustees says: “On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Vicky Browning, OBE, as POhWER's interim CEO. Vicky brings extensive charity sector and commercial experience and has an enviable reputation as an honest, collaborative and humble leader.”

Vicky’s most recent role was interim CEO at independent charity The Whitehall & Industry Group, bringing together people in business, government and the not-for-profit sectors to learn from each other and collaborate.

We can’t wait to welcome her to the team in the New Year.
