Welcoming our new CEO

“I am proud to be leading a charity whose work will help some of the UK’s most marginalised groups to feel and perform better, reducing societal inequalities related to food access, knowledge and habits.

Think Through Nutrition has a pioneering scientific history. We have spent the last 37 years building evidence of the link between nutrition, brain health and behaviour. In the coming years, my priority is to ensure we make the right nutrition more accessible for everyone.”

— Tahani Saridar, CEO


We are delighted to announce the appointment of our new CEO, Tahani Saridar, who will be commencing her role from today.

Tahani has been with the charity for the last three years as Director of Development and Programmes, where she has played a very important role in redefining the charity’s strategy, diversifying income streams, creating new partnerships, and leading programme implementation on-the-ground, enabling us to reach thousands more individuals.

Her work with us follows a 12-year career in the health sector, where she has designed and delivered impact-led strategies and programmes for venture capital, start-ups and non-profits focused on business transformation, innovation and scale.

Tahani takes up the CEO role at a crucial time when physical and mental health issues are necessarily high on both the political and news agenda. Challenges of cost of living increases – and in particular rising food prices – in addition to sometimes questionable. farming and food manufacturing methods, as well as confusing nutritional messages, all mean that the work of Think Through Nutrition has never been more urgent

The appointment tops off a fast moving and effective year for Think Through Nutrition, during which we have built new corporate and charity partnerships.  Importantly, we have been working closely with the Ministry of Justice, UK Health Security Agency, Public Health Wales, and Defra to plan a significant nutrition pilot. We have augmented further our connections with like-minded organisations and individuals, including the exceptional Kimberley Wilson who recently joined us as Ambassador for Think Through Nutrition.
