David Ejim-McCubbin
David, an EYLA alumnus, takes over as Chair of Eastside with effect from April 2022. He succeeds Matthew Hagopian whose guidance and wisdom has been greatly appreciated over the last few years. David has been Vice Chair for 12 months. He first joined the academy through our In-Schools Programme, spending two years at Rugby School under the tutelage of Patrick Derham and Sally Rosser. David is also a Black Heart Foundation Scholar benefitting from the largesse and role model of Ric Lewis.
David studied Law and Business, achieving his Master’s in Legal and Political Theory at UCL. He spent a year as an intern at Eastside assisting with our Scholars Programme. He worked at the Council to the Bar as a research assistant and then as a civil servant in the Ministry of Education, transferring to the Ministry of Justice. He is now Head of Policy & Advocacy at the Social Mobility Commission. He is also a husband, a father and a school governor.
We are proud of David’s achievements and his example as a leader in our community. Having walked the walk, he is in a strong position to talk the talk and lead this growing charity into its next phase. Twenty years on it is a joy to see our 2002 vision of creating leaders for tomorrow come to fruition.
