Clive MacTavish

I joined the British Red Cross in January 2023 and, as well as being CFO, I am also responsible for our portfolio of social enterprises. This includes our network of shops, training business and our businesses providing community equipment and mobility aids.

My previous role was as CFO at CDC Group plc, the UKs development finance company (now British International Investment). While there, I worked with the UK Department for International Development to secure a doubling of funds under management (an additional £3.5bn). I also managed the resulting growth in staff numbers both to invest that money and support the commitment to the development, environment, social and governance agendas.

Before working at CDC, I held several senior commercial finance roles in companies such as Expedia/Hotels.com, Dow Jones and the Financial Times. I started my career with PwC and am a qualified accountant (ACA). I also have an MBA from Duke University.

I am a trustee of Hoxton Hall, a Victorian musical hall in Hackney (London). Formerly, I was a non-executive director with MedAccess, a company supporting the provision of financial guarantees to help access to new medicines and treatments in emerging markets.
