Chair or Co-Chairs

Aakash Odedra Company (AOC) is seeking an ambitious, visionary Chair (or joint Co-Chairs) to guide our Board and executive leadership through a pivotal era of strategic growth.

Rooted in Leicester with a global footprint, AOC is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation recognised worldwide for boundary-pushing British-South Asian dance.

As we prepare to secure charitable status, recruit a new Executive Director, and acquire a permanent capital building in the Midlands, our next Chair will play a decisive role in shaping our long-term trajectory.

We are looking for an influential advocate with strategic wisdom, robust governance experience, and a deep commitment to equity and cultural diversity. Whether you bring senior leadership within the creative sector or high-level networks across philanthropy and regional development, you will help amplify our audacious vision and elevate our national profile.
