Katherine Lyndsay 'Kate' Mavor (born 30 March 1962) is a British charity executive and businesswoman. Since May 2015, she has been Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of English Heritage. Previously, she was CEO of Project Scotland from 2005 to 2009, and CEO of National Trust for Scotland from 2009 to 2015.
Mavor was born on 30 March 1962 in London, England, and was brought up in Glasgow, Scotland. She was educated at Westbourne School for Girls, an all-girls independent school in Glasgow. In 1980, she matriculated into Trinity College, Oxford to study modern languages; this was only the second year that the previously all-male college admitted female students. She graduated from the University of Oxford with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1984; as per tradition, this was later promoted to a Master of Arts (MA (Oxon)) degree. She later completed a postgraduate diploma in marketing at the Polytechnic of Central London.
Mavor's early career was spent in business and publishing. Having graduated from university, she spent a year as a graduate trainee at Thomson Books between 1984 and 1985. Then, she was a product manager at Macmillan Press from 1985 to 1986, and a publicity manager at Unwin Hyman from 1987 to 1988.
