The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning and research in the world.

In July 2023, we announced the appointment of incoming President and Vice Chancellor, Professor Larry Kramer, a visionary leader and scholar who will lead on the School’s ambitious strategic priorities, taking us to new heights.

In November 2021, we launched the public phase of Shaping the World, our major £350 million philanthropy and engagement Campaign to underpin LSE’s strategic goals. By the end of 2024’s financial year we had exceeded the goal and, following a recalibration study, have set ambitious goals for 2030.

Kerrie Holland, the Executive Director of Alumni Engagement and Individual Giving, is joining LSE in March 2025 from Aston University where she has been based since 2018. She will bring a wealth of experience in this area and will drive LSE’s strategic goals that seeks to realise the power that a strong programme of alumni relations will bring while building on the success of the School’s Campaign to date.
Kerrie will oversee the work of a rapidly expanding team and will form part of the Senior Leadership Team of the Philanthropy and Global Engagement Division. The successful candidate will work closely with her and other Executive Officer to ensure priorities are managed and time is used strategically.

The Executive Directors all operate to busy schedules, involving a substantial amount of travel, and the Executive Officer plays a key role in helping to conduct business in a timely and efficient manner by providing high-level administrative support.
