Heather RabbattsHeather Rabbatts CBE is a television executive and broadcaster who rose to prominence as Chief Executive of the London Borough of Lambeth, advertised as the 'worst job in local government'. Rabbatts was educated at the London School of Economics and became a barrister in 1981. From 1987, she worked in local government, until 1989 when she became Deputy Chief Executive of Hammersmith and Fulham. She then became Chief Executive of Merton before being appointed to the post of Chief Executive of Lambeth in 1995. Under her charge, Lambeth did not entirely shed its image of a poorly-run council but was seen as more forward-thinking, dynamic and youthful. There were significant improvements in housing, education and council tax collection. Upon leaving Lambeth, in March 2000, Rabbatts became Chief Executive of iMPOWER Group, a public sector consultant, which she founded. She subsequently became co-chair of iMPOWER and moved on to be Managing Director of Channel 4s education programmes and business, 4Learning. Rabbatts was a Governor of the BBC from 1999 to 2001, resigning upon her appointment to Channel 4. She is a Governor at the London School of Economics, an Associate of the Kings Fund, on the Board at the British Council and was awarded the CBE in the 2000 New Years Honours. Rabbatts, Heather
