The British Nutrition Foundation appoints Elaine Hindal as its new Chief Executive Officer

Professor John Mathers, incoming Chair of the Board of Trustees added:

“As the events of the last two years have shown, the focus on the health of the nation has never been more important and I am tremendously excited therefore that Elaine has chosen to join us at such a critical time. Elaine demonstrated a real passion for our work, and our evidence-based approach to improve nutrition and public health by making healthy sustainable diets more accessible.

Professor Mathers continues:

“We look forward to welcoming Elaine and helping her build upon the excellent work in the field of nutrition science and education of our current Director General, Professor Judy Buttriss and Managing Director, Roy Ballam, who are stepping down from their current roles at the end of this calendar year after many years dedicated service.”

Elaine comments:

“I’m excited to be joining the British Nutrition Foundation at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented changes to society and to attitudes towards health and well-being. With such a great depth of educational and scientific experience in the team, I hope to help ensure that the British Nutrition Foundation is best positioned to play its part as one of the UK’s leading charities concerned with nutrition, building upon Judy and Roy’s impressive legacy.”
