Humanities leader appointed to the board of Experience Oxfordshire

Alexandra Vincent MBE has been appointed to the board Experience Oxfordshire.

Alexandra is the Chief Operating Officer for the Humanities Division and Managing Director for the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. Core to Alex’s role is overseeing the strategy, operation, and governance of the Humanities Division, including responsibility for setting the strategy and overseeing the operations of the Schwarzman Centre and its cultural, schools and commercial programmes.

Experience Oxfordshire is the Destination Management Organisation (DMO) and VisitEngland accredited Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) for Oxfordshire. It is a partnership organisation focused on driving growth across the visitor economy of Oxfordshire in a productive, sustainable way. It was one of the first destination England to gain LVEP status from the national tourism board, VisitEngland.

This appointment reinforces the importance of the Schwarzman Centre as a popular destination for tourists and visitors to Oxfordshire, which is expected to accelerate once the cultural programme launches on April 25. It also demonstrates the commitment of the Humanities Division to work in partnership with key stakeholders for the benefit of the region.

Alexandra said: “Tourism and the cultural and creative industries are symbiotic sectors. Where they collaborate well the visitor economy flourishes and, through their work, Experience Oxfordshire have proven their commitment to enabling this. I am delighted to have the opportunity to join such an energetic board and to publicly support Experience Oxfordshire, our LVEP, who work so well in advocating for the sector amongst key influencers and national decision makers and in promoting our city and county within the UK and to the rest of the world.”
