Alana Wilde

CEO

Prior to joining SYEDA I worked in the public sector, for a large health and care research funder, and in higher education, in a range of specialist health inequalities and inclusion roles. I also have a PhD in Philosophy where I focused on the ways in which lived experience is used in research.  

As CEO, my role involves managing SYEDA and working closely with the clinical team and with our Board of Trustees as well as making sure that we maintain strong connections with local NHS services, other charities, and communities within South Yorkshire.   

I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring that people who experience disordered eating are able to access the right support, and feel very privileged to be SYEDA's CEO.
