The Board of Directors of INTERIGHTS are pleased to announce that on 15 February

He takes over from Jeremy McBride, the organisation’s Chair who has also been acting
as interim Executive Director.

Danny has worked extensively on equality and diversity policies and programmes in
the United Kingdom and, in particular, was the Chief Executive of the former Commission

and leadership experience, much of which has been gained in complex and highly regulated
environments.
