A hearty congratulations to Tannis W. on her appointment to the University of Oxford’s Development and Alumni Engagement office as their new Head of Development, Medical Sciences!

Working closely with senior leadership within DAE and the Medical Science Division, Tannis will develop fundraising strategy, engage donors and manage the development activities and successful, high-performing team for the Division, while contributing to the University’s broader development strategy. Tannis looks forward to bringing her experience of fundraising for academic medicine and medical research gained in Canada and Singapore, and developing this further within one of the world’s leading biomedical universities.

Antony Green says, “Following an international search, I’m delighted by Tannis’ appointment to lead Oxford’s Medical Sciences Development team. Tannis’ experience will be invaluable to Oxford at a time when philanthropy plays an ever bigger role in helping academic institutions find solutions to the fundamental health challenges faced by society. I look forward to welcoming Tannis to Oxford in September.”

Tannis says, “I am beyond delighted to be appointed as Head of Development, Medical Sciences and have the opportunity to help raise philanthropic support to move the needle forward in developing a deeper understanding the causes, improving diagnoses and developing effective treatments for the “big” diseases at the University of Oxford.

I am also deeply grateful to the selection committee for their support of my candidacy- and it was such a pleasure to work with Richmond Associates’ Sonja Dunphy, Judith Marks, Beng Hwee Chua, and Jocelyn Kelty throughout my recruitment journey.”

We wish Tannis all the very best in her new role!
