Wanda Hamilton will join the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) as its new group director of fundraising in June.
Hamilton previously worked as chief executive of AMD Alliance International, based in Canada, promoting awareness, treatment and research into macular degeneration.
Hamilton said: "RNIB is one of the UK's most admired charities, and a best- practices leader globally. I am tremendously honoured to take up the challenge of sustaining the excellent achievements of the past, while building new opportunities for partnership and support of the essential work the charity does on behalf of blind and partially sighted people."
Lesley-Anne Alexander, RNIB chief executive, said: "Wanda will be a significant asset to our Strategic Management Team. She has both an excellent reputation in the sight loss sector, and a great track record in fundraising and new ventures.
Wanda will bring a new surge of energy to RNIB as well as strong leadership skills."
Hamilton replaces Paul Amadi who joined NSPCC earlier this year.
