Our Board

Lola Kehinde

"I am a senior nurse with over 30 years’ experience in effectively managing complex services, issues and diverse teams within the acute and community health service. I will be bringing a wealth of experience gained working in the NHS for the past 24 years, in which I have developed managerial, financial, clinical, teaching, presentation, communication and interpersonal skills."

David Thompson, our co-chair

"I was a lawyer for 35 years working mainly for individuals and trade unions in predominantly employment and industrial injury litigation. We were also involved in campaigning with other organisations for legal reforms. Our law firm became an LLP and I was a board member and then chair of the firm."

Paul Newton

"I am an academic at the University of Greenwich whose teaching, research, and publications - over the past 20 years - have focussed on people’s experiences of managing illness and accessing health and social care services. I am also an advocate for a greater voice for the public in all aspects of health and social care. Having spent much of my career harnessing people’s experiences of health and wellbeing to create evidence that informs practice and policy, I am now keen to contribute to Healthwatch Greenwich in a similar manner. I have also been a resident of Greenwich for over 15 years."

Anu Massey, our co-chair

"I have been a lawyer for 25 years, specialising in litigation, acting on behalf of both individuals and organisations, and working with local government departments. My passion is helping those who deserve justice and results, which is exactly what I aim to bring to Healthwatch Greenwich. I have spent my career learning how both public and private sector organisations operate. I am a Trustee of a small advocacy charity, and I want to help patients make the most of the services that are provided to them by the NHS, and to ensure that standards are maintained. I have lived in Greenwich all my life, so I have a good knowledge of the services provided within the Borough."

Oluwatobi Aigbogun

"I am on a mission to change our world, encouraging social enterprise, cultural exchange and most of all, averting the climate crisis. As a global shaper of the World Economic Forum and Co-Founder of SocialGood United Kingdom, a United Nations Foundation backed community, I apply new media and technology in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. With over 10 years’ experience in the development sector, I am looking forward to contributing to programs and projects that are impactful and sustainable."    

Joshua Varghese

"Public health and social care are causes that I am extremely passionate about as many of my family members are health workers. I hope to bring an entrepreneurial zeal and steady conviction to actively participate in resolving current healthcare issues and ensuring that patients are equally being provided with the best quality health and social care within Greenwich.

I am currently completing a Masters in International Relations at London School of Economics having completed my Bachelors in Economics and Politics at Bristol University. I also have various professional experience within the finance and property sectors".

Tominiyi Oni

As a global HR leader, I focus on nurturing talent and developing leaders. With over three decades of experience in HR, change management and process improvement, I currently volunteer as a consultant / mentor at Cranfield Trust. Before this, I served as the Group HRD for the TGI Group. My background is in psychology, and for the last ten years, I have been helping organisations, teams and individuals to grow their leadership capabilities.

My experience spans various organisations including Diageo, Shell, British Council, and PwC. With extensive knowledge in people and culture, I have played a key role in training and developing over two hundred thousand people across West Africa, as well as in Romania, the Netherlands, and the UK. I look forward to bringing my people and culture expertise to the Board of HWG and to help the organisation achieve its full potential.
