Nick Moberly
Chief Executive
I joined the MS Society as Chief Executive at the beginning of 2019. My background is in the health sector and I’ve worked in senior leadership positions within the NHS for the past 15 years. Most recently I was CEO at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
During my career in the NHS, I've seen the impact that neurological conditions like MS can have. I'm keen to contribute my energies to making sure everyone affected by MS gets the best deal possible, through research, support, fundraising and campaigning across the UK. Alongside my role at the MS Society, I’m also a non-executive director of NHS Property Services and Vice Chair of Christian Aid.

Sam Walker
Executive Director of Support and Services
MS and the MS Society have been in my life for many years. My mum was diagnosed in 1967. In my time at the MS Society, I’ve been fortunate to see first-hand the impact our organisation makes for people affected by MS, from our national services to the support and community provided by our local groups and networks of amazing volunteers.
I’m very much looking forward to continuing to work together with our amazing volunteers and colleagues to deliver the best possible services and support for the MS community. The difference a piece of information, a listening ear or good support can make to someone can be life-changing.
