Tom Van Oss

I joined the Board in October 2020.  I was appointed Vice Chair in December 2022.  I am Chair of the Community First Investment Committee and I have been a Trustee at the Cornwall Community Foundation since 2015.

I was previously on the Council of the Royal College of Art, where I chaired its Audit and Risk Committee.  I was also a member of the Audit Committee at The Courtauld Institute and was a Governor of Falmouth University for eight years.

My background is in corporate finance.  For 22 years I ran my own practice as an adviser on mergers and acquisitions in the financial sector.  I am based in London but live in Cornwall for as much of the year as possible.
