Article – 21 November 2025

Moloney Search is delighted to have partnered with Hertford College on the appointment of Baroness Freeman as its new Principal.

 

Hertford College is one of the University of Oxford’s most well-renowned colleges, known not only for its academic strength but also for its commitment to inclusivity, student welfare, and diversity.

 

Baroness Freeman brings a wealth of experience, having studied zoology at New College and earned her DPhil at Linacre before spending 17 years creating award-winning BBC science and natural history documentaries. She later returned to academia to lead Cambridge’s Winton Centre for Risk & Evidence Communication, was appointed a crossbench peer in 2024, and founded Octopus, a not-for-profit platform reshaping how research is published.

 

As Principal, she will lead Hertford College through the coming years and help shape the direction of the College’s future.
