Ellie Wilson is Associate Director, London Engagement at King’s College London, steering King’s ambition to be a civic university at the heart of London.

She also oversees partnerships with organisations and communities in the capital, including The Courtauld Institute.

A key focus is deepening engagement with our home boroughs and collaborating with the city’s businesses, policymakers, universities and further education institutions to make a positive difference amongst our local communities.

Prior to joining King’s, Ellie worked at London & Partners, the Mayor of London’s business growth and destination agency where she launched Med City and the first London Tech Week, joined international trade missions with the Mayor of London, and led global communications campaigns for the city.
