Samantha Byers
Director of Development and Alumni Relations
SMT Executive – Samantha joins the Executive team from the University of St Andrews where she most recently managed the Annual Giving programme, having previously worked within Research and Major Gift fundraising. From a career spanning both educational sectors and financial services based in London, Samantha forms part of the team to help deliver the Bicentennial and create a sustainable Development programme capable of supporting both the Edinburgh Academy and its Academicals, as the School looks to strengthen its future post Bicentennial celebrations.
Samantha has a son and daughter, a passionate rugby supporter and there’s a good chance you’ll find her on the touch lines of a local match if she’s not enjoying her other passion of cooking!
