Professor Dorothy Griffiths, Chair of CNWL, said: “I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Meenakshi Anand as a Non Executive Director.

"Meena will be a great addition to the Board. Our staff is our most important asset and she will bring new ideas and experience to our thinking and making CNWL a great place to work now and in the future.”

The Council of Governors approved the appointment at their meeting in March; Meena’s term of office starts on 1 May.

Meena is an experienced Human Resources professional. Most recently she was the Managing Director and Chief HR Officer for a 30,000 strong financial services organisation based out of Malaysia.  

Returning home in June 2020, Meena now enjoys a portfolio career which includes being a Trustee of a multi academy trust, the Non-Executive Director of a housing association and the Board Advisor for an HR publication based in Asia.

In addition to her Board work, Meena is an active Career Coach with a particular interest in working with neurodiverse people and those early on in their careers.  

Meena said: “As a Non Executive Director of CNWL I hope to reconnect with the different communities in London, support the changes the Trust needs to adopt and learn more about how best to support the varied needs of our communities.”

Meena lives in London with her husband and loves to hike: “Epping Forest may not be the jungles of Malaysia but it certainly has its own charm!”
