The James Hutton Institute is excited to announce the appointment of Anne Corbin as our new Chief Financial Officer.
Anne joins the Hutton from social care charity VSA, where she has worked since 2019, serving as CFO since 2021. A fellow of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants, she has 25 years of experience working in finance, and has led teams focusing on procurement, financial operations and a number of other corporate services. Anne’s main areas of focus are financial resilience, good governance, and social responsibility, and she plans to continue promoting these principles through her work at the Hutton.
Following our continued success in appointing senior finance leaders within HE, Dixon Walter were delighted to have supported The James Hutton Institute with this key appointment. We wish both Anne and the whole team every success in this latest chapter of continued development.
Prior to her appointment at VSA, Anne held a number of senior-level positions for large companies across a variety of sectors including energy and manufacturing.
Anne studied Economics and Management at the University of Aberdeen and will be based at the Hutton’s Craigiebuckler campus. In her new role, she will contribute to the strategic planning and development of the Hutton, ensure the efficient use of resources, and help deliver major capital programmes that enable world-class science.
Speaking on her appointment, Chief Executive Colin Campbell said: “Anne is a fantastic appointment for the Hutton. With her wealth of financial experience and excellent track record across a range of sectors, she’s equipped with all the skills required to thrive in this new role.
“I look forward to welcoming her into The James Hutton Institute and working together at what is a very exciting time for us.”
