Luke Thomas is Chief Executive Officer of World Child Cancer and a trustee of Lepra, with more than 21 years’ experience in the not-for-profit sector. At World Child Cancer, he leads an international organisation working to address the profound inequity in childhood cancer care, where a child’s chance of survival remains heavily influenced by where they are born. Luke champions locally led, sustainable approaches that strengthen health systems and expand access to diagnosis, treatment and support for children and families. Across his career, including more than a decade at the MS International Federation, he has worked internationally to build partnerships, strengthen organisations and mobilise resources for health and disability. His leadership is rooted in collaboration and the belief that lasting change comes from working alongside communities and partners to build stronger, more equitable systems.
