Clare has been UCAS Chief Executive since 2017 and feels privileged to lead it through a period of dramatic digital transformation which puts students at the centre of all it provides, from admissions through to information and advice, data analysis and insights and the provision of commercial products and services through UCAS Media. 

Clare started her career within manufacturing, before moving to management consultancy with Deloitte, then central and local government, latterly as Chief Executive of Worcestershire County Council. She graduated from Hull University in 1993 and gained a MSc from the Open University in 1998.
