EYLA appointments new CEO
Eastside Young Leaders’ Academy is delighted to announce the appointment of Carol Murraine as its new CEO.
Many will have been aware of the sad and sudden passing of EYLA CEO and Founder Ray Lewis CBE, who died in March. Shortly after his funeral the Board of Trustees began the search to appoint his replacement. After a rigorous four-month process, the Board were unanimous in their decision to appoint Carol who will take up the post 1st January 2025.
Carol Murraine joined EYLA in 2014. Over the last 10 years, she has played a leading role across EYLA’s key programmes and projects. In her current role as Programmes Director, she has led the oversight and delivery of the mentoring programmes and pastoral care for over 300 pupils and scholars. She had worked closely with Ray in setting the strategic direction of Eastside.
“Following the passing of our CEO and Founder, The Trustees and I were acutely aware that this was a crucial moment in the history of Eastside. We were determined to ensure that the first appointment since Ray was the right one needed to progress and expand upon his visionary work.
During her time at Eastside, Carol has earned the full confidence of the staff and trustees - there is no one more suited to lead EYLA into the exciting opportunities of the future. We look forward to working with her as she and the team at Eastside deliver for our young leaders.”
David Ejim-McCubbin
Chair of the Board of Trustees
“I am truly honoured to accept the position of Chief Executive Officer at Eastside Young Leaders’ Academy, and I am excited about the opportunity to continue the incredible work of our late founder, Ray Lewis.
I look forward to collaborating with the board, staff team and stakeholders to advance our vision and achieve our strategic goals. Together, I am confident that we can navigate challenges and seize new opportunities for growth.”
