Quetzal is delighted to announce the appointment of Deborah Knight as its new Chief Executive.
Deborah is currently the Business Development Manager at Quetzal. She has held a range of senior roles across the charity sector and is involved in a range of initiatives to fight violence against women and girls.
Deborah said:
“Supporting women’s recovery from trauma and helping them to improve their mental health and wellbeing has never been more important, Quetzal plays a vital role in ensuring that they get the right support. I am very pleased for the opportunity to build on the brilliant work of Hollie and the team and very much look forward to working with the trustees, staff and volunteers to ensure we do even more for women in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland facing challenges with their mental health.”
Richard Fresia-Farrelly, Quetzal’s’ Chair of Trustees, said:
“I am thrilled that Deborah has been appointed as the new CEO of Quetzal at this exciting time in our development, her experience and enthusiasm will be important to the next stage in our work with survivors of abuse. The Trustees are looking forward to working with Deborah and to taking this wonderful organisation on to even greater things.”
Deborah will take up the role in May and will replace Hollie Venn, who is moving on to a new role as CEO of Sheffield Women’s Aid.
