Markey will lead the strategy to grow income for life-saving research and to advance  digital transformation.

Commenting on his new role, Markey said on LinkedIn: “I’m excited to be joining Cancer Research UK (CRUK) as executive director of marketing, fundraising & engagement.

“I lost my mum, Rosemary, to cancer 25 years ago, and so this role is deeply personal for me. I want my next chapter to be about helping to beat cancer.

“It’s a real privilege to be part of a charity with such a powerful mission and to be joining a group of people who are passionate and driven by the same cause.

“I’m looking forward to driving even greater impact and engagement, and to grow our income.”
