Woosh Raza and Saskia Konynenburg have been appointed to two director roles at NCVO.
These two appointments complete the recruitment to the six-strong leadership team, which has reduced from nine.
After being appointed chief executive in March 2022, Sarah Vibert restructured the NCVO leadership team and made a number of internal appointments to it.
Laura Crandley was appointed chief operating officer, Alex Farrow was appointed director of influencing and engagement, and Andrew Walkey was appointed director of services and partnerships.
Raza has been appointed to the new role of director of people, culture and inclusion. He will join NCVO from Phoenix Futures, a leading provider of psychosocial treatment for people with drug or alcohol problems, where he is currently head of people and culture.
Raza will start with NCVO in early 2023, and said: “Equity, diversity, inclusion, and most importantly, belonging speaks deeply to my values both personally and professionally.”
Konynenburg has been appointed as director of strategic communications and insight, and was most recently head of external communications and consultation at Bristol City Council.
She joined NCVO this week, and said: “I hope my skills and knowledge will further strengthen NCVO’s offer and embolden the sector as we champion the value of voluntary organisations. By developing strategic communications and a new insights function, we will be able to improve how we listen, learn, and respond to our members.”
