New Year Honours for Rosanna Machado, a St Catharine's College, Cambridge (Catz) alumn
Rosanna is a specialist in the co-ordination of large-scale events and runs her own consultancy, Zebra. She has worked in the events industry for over 20 years, managing complex events such as the 2012 River Pageant and the 2013 G8 Summit. In March 2021, she was appointed CEO of The Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which took place on 5 June 2022 and involved over 10,000 people from across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Rosanna is passionate about people development and training the next generation as an executive coach, facilitator and lecturer, specialising in emotional intelligence and personal skills to excel in the workplace. She is currently a trustee at the Thames Festival Trust, a volunteer at WeSwim disabled swimming club, and offers pro bono coaching to charities and individuals.
She is also a keen open water swimmer. She writes and speaks about the mental health benefits of swimming. In July 2021 she swam the Channel as part of a relay team.
Rosanna said, "I am delighted to be appointed a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO). It was an honour to lead The Platinum Jubilee Pageant and from the outset I wanted it to be so much more than a one-day event. Through kindness and compassion, the Pageant aimed to foster deeper unity between, and celebration of, our rich and diverse cultures. We wanted the Pageant to be accessible to all - whether you took part, watched it, volunteered, or participated in one of our community projects. It was a fabulous spectacle, and it is a joy to see the impact living on in local communities long after."
