New Chair Elect of RDA UK

The Board of RDA UK are delighted to announce the appointment of Helena Vega-Lozano as Chair Elect.
Helena will bring extensive experience and expertise to RDA having served in roles across the private
sector and not-for-profit; and a strong connection to our mission through her lifelong passion for
horses, animals, and the natural world.

As a senior Partner and Consulting Board member at Deloitte, Helena leads the Sustainability
practice across the Finance and Supply Chain business. During her seventeen years as a Partner with
Deloitte, Helena has led numerous programmes for clients, ranging from governance reviews and
designing Board strategy and KPIs through to performance management, HR and talent
management, risk management and controls, and driving technology and digital change.

Helena is also Chair of the Trustees at Mare and Foal (an equine rescue charity) and is a Volunteer
Counsellor for Childline (NSPCC) handling front line calls and digital engagement with young people
using the Childline service.

Helena is excited to join RDA and looking forward to meeting the RDA community over the coming
months:
“I am very much looking forward to meeting and listening to the wonderful RDA participants,
volunteers and staff, and building my understanding of everything you do, so that together we can
harness our collective knowledge and experience to enrich the lives of even more disabled people
through horses.
As a trustee, it is a privilege to be able to blend my business experience with my passion for equines.
There are many parallels between the federated structure of RDA and the network of national and
regional practices within Deloitte, and I am looking forward to drawing on this to help shape the
vision and direction of RDA for the future.’
