You will be instrumental in catalysing growth and attracting inward investment to a cluster of places around the Olympic Park including the opportunities that come with development of East Bank – the largest and most ambitious cultural and education district in a generation. With your fellow Board Members, you will share responsibility for setting strategy direction and policy for our programme of transformation.
