Claire O'Donnell

Claire’s keen interest in education was realised following a mid-career change in direction. After twenty-five years in the investment management industry, where she held board level positions at Gartmore Investment Management and Jupiter Asset Management, she resumed academic study and was subsequently offered teaching roles at Roehampton Business School and latterly the role of Fellow at the London School of Economics.

 A long time Richmond resident, Claire was Chair of Governors at The Vineyard School and has volunteered with the Citizens Advice team in Sheen.

A firm believer in the transformative potential of lifelong learning, Claire was appointed to the Board in March 2022 and is a member of Quality and Standards Committee.
