Michelle Dyson is the new CEO of Alzheimer’s Society in the UK, as of 3 November. She succeeds Kate Lee, who was CEO from 2020-2025. During this same period, Ms Dyson was the Director General of Adult Social Care at the Department of Health and Social Care in the UK. As the top civil servant leading on adult social care, she was responsible for advising ministers on policy and for operational oversight and reform of the adult social care system. Prior to this, she worked as a senior civil servant in different roles in the Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions and Department for Education, always with a focus on social policy and delivery, particularly as regards disadvantaged groups. Three of her grandparents had dementia, so she has personal experience of the condition and the effects it has on families and individuals. You can find out more about her, here:
