Southeast London’s leading arts centre, the Albany, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Mimi Findlay as Co-CEO and Executive Director. She joins Vicki Dela Amedume MBE, who has been promoted to Creative Director and Co-CEO. This follows the departure of outgoing CEO Gavin Barlow, who leaves the Albany following two decades at the helm.
This dynamic leadership duo marks a fresh start for the Albany, ushering in a new era of creativity and community engagement. The pair will be delivering the arts centre’s bold new Creative Strategy, which prioritises and encourages community engagement through a shift to distributed leadership, sharing decision making with local people and increasing transparency about ways to get involved with the organisation.
