Recently, Ashden Founder and Chair of Trustees Sarah Butler-Sloss has said, “Myself, the Ashden team and our trustees are delighted to announce that our next CEO will be Ashok Sinha. Ashok brings with him a wealth of experience in environmental, sustainable development and justice issues in the UK and the Global South, having worked in these areas for over 30 years.
His achievements include a PhD in renewable energy, and driving landmark campaigns such as Make Poverty History, The Jubilee Debt Campaign and Stop Climate Chaos (now the Climate Coalition). More recently, he has led transformational work making London a healthier and greener city, as CEO of the London Cycling Campaign and the Chair of the London Sustainable Development Commission.
Dr. Sinha will start his role at the London-based charity in June, when he will replace interim CEO Giles Bristow, Ashden’s Director of Programmes.
