Katy Amberley
CEO, British Society for Haematology
Katy graduated from London University with a degree in French and Spanish; she also has an MA in Medieval Studies. She bobbed around the job market for a few years before working for a firm of architects where she spent her time turning the partners’ terrible handwritten notes into polished letters.
She fell into the world of membership bodies in 1999, when she went to work for NADFAS (now The Arts Society), and has been there ever since. She joined BSH in 2007 and became Chief Executive in 2017. There she leads a diverse staff team of 11 as the Society navigates its way through the Covid-19 era, adapting to the need for new ways of working and supporting its membership.
