Joanna Benarroch has been involved in the Jewish community for over 30 years, working with many communal organisations, synagogue bodies, community professionals and individuals and is a qualified accountant.

Joanna joined the Office of the Chief Rabbi in 1997, and worked for Rabbi Sacks for 24 years. As Executive Director, Joanna had responsibility for running a very busy public office with multi-faceted roles, managing a wonderful team and supporting Rabbi Sacks in his day-to-day activities.
