Freud Museum welcomes former Tate and ACE leader

ANNA JOBSON has been appointed the new director of the Freud Museum in London.

An independent strategist with more than 25 years’ experience of working in the arts, culture and education sectors, Jobson has also held leadership positions at Tate, Arts Council England (ACE) – where she was director of strategy – and the University of the Arts London, where she was director of change.

She succeeds acting director DAN FEENEY, who has led the museum since April 2025 and will remain with the museum as a change consultant until the end of the year.

Jobson said she was “delighted” to be joining one of her favourite museums.

“I can’t imagine a professional opportunity that better brings together my experience, skills and interests, and I am looking forward to leading the museum into its next chapter,” she said.

Chair SUE PREVEZER KC said Jobson brings “a wealth of experience from the cultural and heritage sector, passion for the museum, and an evident energy to lead us in becoming a truly 21st-century museum ahead of our 40th anniversary in 2026”.
