The Southbank Centre announces the appointment of two new members to its Board of Governors.
The new Trustees, approved by Arts Council England, are Roxana Mirica, Partner at Apax and Dr Maria Balshaw CBE, former Director of Tate.
Roxana joined the board on 26 February 2026 and Maria will take up her post from 8 October 2026.
In addition, Libby Savill (formerly Deputy Chair) has stepped into the role of Interim Chair, taking over from Misan Harriman, who will step down from the Southbank Centre Board on 13 September 2026, after serving five years as Chair. A recruitment process for a new Chair has been launched by leadership advisory firm Egon Zehnder.
Libby Savill, Interim Chair of the Southbank Centre, said: “We are pleased to welcome Roxana and Maria to the Southbank Centre Board and very much look forward to working with them on our ambitions beyond this 75th anniversary year.
“On behalf of the Board, I’d like to thank Misan for his five years as Chair of the Southbank Centre. As Chair, Misan has overseen a transformational recovery since the Covid pandemic and he leaves the organisation in a far more resilient, financially robust and healthy position.”
