Marc Smith (Chair)

An entrepreneurial and creative-led professional in brand communications, business development and leadership, Marc’s career spans 36 years, with 30 years spent in advertising and marketing roles, from graduate trainee to Managing Director. More recently, Marc has been CEO at a national health and wellbeing charity (Brain and Spine Foundation) and Vice Chair at Neurological Alliance England.

Marc is now CEO at myware (a UK charity supporting people affected by myasthenia), and also an elected Governor at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.

“My interest in supporting a neurological charity was born of personal experience – my brother has lived with epilepsy for 45 years. Equally relevant now are his challenges related to mental health and wellbeing caused by this chronic condition.”
