Taylor Sanders

Taylor joined us in 2023, bringing public-health expertise both from here in Aotearoa and from her work in London with Cancer Research UK, the world’s biggest independent cancer research organisation. She’s passionate about prevention measures that support current and future generations to live their best life possible.

Taylor is a calm, strong performer under pressure, with proven experience in national initiatives during COVID-19, including the roll-out of New Zealand’s Vaccine and Immunisation Programme. She successfully led and developed a team through both the pandemic and the 2022 health reforms.
