Governance & Trustees.

Victoria brings over 25 years of senior business leadership experience and is SVP and Head of Central & Southern Europe Area at GSK, where she has led multi-country businesses across strategy, governance, risk and organisational transformation. At LBHSC, Victoria brings that experience to help strengthen the club’s direction, sustainability and long-term growth as Chair of the Board of Trustees. Her connection to swimming is personal. She grew up by the sea in Bournemouth and swam competitively when she was younger, later taking up rowing, triathlons and open-water swimming. She joined LBHSC because she wants more people across the borough to have the opportunity and confidence to enjoy swimming. Give her a pool, lake or sea and she is usually happiest in the water.

I have been a dedicated member of the Hounslow community my entire life, witnessing first-hand the transformative power of swimming. As a mother to a son who swims, I understand the importance of ensuring that children from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds have access to opportunities that allow them to reach their full potential. With a background in nursing, I bring a wealth of experience in community healthcare and hospitals, including working in prisons and specialising in dementia care for the elderly. My commitment to inclusivity and representation drives my mission to ensure that every child and young person in the community has access to the benefits of swimming and exercise. I believe we are poised to be a catalyst for change, working to create a more inclusive Hounslow where every child and young person can have the opportunity to thrive.

Tanvir is a senior marketing leader with over 20 years of international experience building and transforming brands across more than 150 markets. He has held global leadership roles at BAT, including Global Head of Brand, and now runs an AI cognitive reskilling programme alongside consulting startups on marketing, strategy and growth. At LBHSC, Tanvir supports the charity’s brand and marketing communications. He became involved because he lives in the borough and wanted to feel more connected, while giving something back to the country he now calls home. He talks a lot about swimming these days, but his own swimming ability is still firmly at “enthusiastic beginner” level.

Danae is the communications officer for the Ecological Continuity Trust, a small charity that aims to preserve long-term ecological experiments. Since completing her PhD in Scientific Archaeology, she has gained more than 15 years of science communication experience through her volunteer work with several science charities. At LBHSC, Danae brings her communication expertise to help support the swim club’s digital communications. She wanted to join LBHSC because swimming brings her great joy, and she wants to ensure that everyone has the chance to experience that. She is also a mermaid (a freediver who wears a tail) in her spare time. Being half Greek, her favourite thing is swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, especially in her mermaid tail!
