Serena Tierney

Serena has served as an MEI Trustee since May 2020. She is a member of the  Finance, Audit and Risk Committee meetings and is link Trustee for GDPR and cybersecurity.

Serena is a lawyer specialising in technology and innovation. Until May 2020 she was a partner in a City law firm. She is profoundly committed to the view that developments in the use of technology and artificial intelligence make understanding maths essential for full participation in society.

She has worked with universities, colleges and providers of adult education in many different settings. She strongly supports the provision of lifelong learning, in particular in maths and science where the UK’s literacy rates are less competitive internationally than is good for the economy.
