Lesley-Anne Alexander CBE
Lesley-Anne Alexander was appointed chief executive at RNIB in January 2004.
Before joining RNIB she was director of operations for the Peabody Trust and prior to this she held various posts in local government with her final post being director of housing with the London Borough of Enfield.
Alexander has been a board member of the British Judo Association and the Waltham Forest Community Housing Association and is currently chair of both the UK Vision Strategy Group and Acevo (the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations).
She was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List 2012, for services to the voluntary sector.

Navca chief executive Joe Irvin has joined the board of Acevo, filling the post vacated by Cath Lee who has stepped down after a year as a trustee.
Marie Curie Cancer Care CEO Thomas Hughes-Hallett, RNIB chief executive Lesley-Anne Alexander and former Navca CEO Kevin Curley were among a host of voluntary sector figures recognised in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
Men may have ruled the political panel, but women packed the punches from the audience in the Civil Society Question Time debate, says Niki May Young.
Six of the sector’s leading female chief executives have been chosen to take part in a series of events aimed at creating links between talent in the voluntary sector and FTSE company boards.
If women in the voluntary sector are to achieve equality of pay and opportunity, the debate needs to move on from the “old-fashioned bra-burning era” and focus on skills, according to Acevo chair Lesley-Anne Alexander.
An idea from the 20/20 Leadership Commission to appoint an organisation as equalities champion for the sector got short shrift from a panel of women leaders yesterday.
NCVO and Acevo have launched their first-ever joint conference, just weeks after announcing that they are moving in together.
