Executive Committee
Our day-to-day activities are managed by a leadership team made up of senior managers from across the organisation.
Executive committee members provide advice to both the governors and the Chief Executive Officer on strategic, planning, operational and policy matters.

Mark Henderson leads all aspects of our communications and public engagement, with a particular focus on building and sustaining trust, influence and Wellcome's reputation so that our work contributes more to health and society.
