A Norfolk-based cancer charity has announced its new chief executive.
Big C Cancer Charity has appointed Karen Vincent to the role, and she will start in early December.
The charity said Ms Vincent has "a wealth of knowledge and experience" from working in strategic roles across public and private sectors.
She has also supported the third sector as a trustee and as an elected local councillor.
She served as chairwoman for Broadland District Council through the Covid-19 pandemic and more recently for Norfolk County Council.
Professor Dylan Edwards, chairman of the board of trustees, said: “We are excited to welcome Karen to the Big C team.
“Having been a Trustee of Big C since 2021 and with the experience she has gained in the public, private and third sectors, Karen embodies the passion and commitment needed to further our mission to support local people affected by cancer in Norfolk and surrounding counties.
"We are confident that her vision and leadership will propel us to new heights.”
