EXTERNAL TRUSTEES:
Arun Sharma
As a Brunel University Alumni, I'm pleased to be serving the Union of Brunel Students as Deputy Chair.
I'm an experienced senior business leader, with a specialism in IT, digital and business transformations, operating as a Chief Information/Technology Officer. I bring a range of expertise to the Union including strategic planning, risk management, governance, cyber and data security, technology transformation, financial planning, supplier management, D&I and ESG considerations.
During my time at Brunel, I experienced the fantastic services provided by the Union, as well as many memorable times at the bars and The Venue. I gave back to my fellow students as a member of the Sports Federation committee and chair of the Badminton Club. I'm now pleased to help govern the Union to ensure existing and future students thrive whilst at Brunel.
