Katy Roxburgh is a communications expert who combines her passion for conservation, sustainability, and gender equity with deep experience in public relations to support organisations creating positive global impact. Her work spans environmental conservation, social development, and women's leadership, with a strong focus on strategic communication and stakeholder engagement.
Katy has worked with a wide range of impact-driven clients, helping to develop and expand not-for-profit initiatives. Her portfolio includes collaborations with The Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development, The High Seas Alliance, The Brenthurst Foundation, 50:50 Parliament, and Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation. She is highly skilled in media content creation, strategic messaging, and advising on geo-political dynamics, particularly within the African context, across corporate, political, and non-profit sectors.
She currently serves as Director of Communications at the Campaign for Nature (CfN)—a global campaign working to conserve at least 30% of the planet’s lands and oceans by 2030, while supporting Indigenous rights and increasing global finance for nature. In this role, she also acts as Secretariat to the campaign’s Global Steering Committee and supports partners such as the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, developing communications and media strategies ahead of key moments, as well as overseeing brand and website development.
In addition, Katy is a Strategic Advisor to Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation, a South African-based organisation that connects conservation science, policy, and practice to address Africa’s environmental challenges. She also volunteers with Generation Tusk, the youth board of Tusk Trust, where she leads fundraising efforts for conservation projects across Africa.
Katy is also a strong advocate for women’s leadership in the UK and internationally. She previously served as Communications Advisor to 50:50 Parliament, supporting the development of fundraising campaigns, promotional materials, and media strategies around key Westminster events. Her advocacy has led to multiple appearances on national TV and radio to promote gender equity in politics. She is also on the Conservative Party’s Parliamentary Candidates List in the United Kingdom.
Katy holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Durham University and joined Atalanta in 2021, becoming a member of the Senior Leadership team that year. She now serves as an ongoing Advisor to Atalanta, working closely with clients to turn their intent into impact.
