Jane Pugh

Jane, who has over 30 years experience working with some of the world's leading brands, joined us as Communications and Events Manager in 2019. 

Along with her sister, she inherited PKD from her dad - who sadly died when she was only 17 - and has since run the gamut of all things PKD, including brain aneurysm surgery twice and a kidney transplant. She previously wrote about her experiences of living with PKD in a weekly column in The Times.

Jane combines a strong commercial background with her lived experience of PKD to improve awareness and education of the disease, through marketing campaigns, advocacy and Information & Support events, on and offline. 

She considers her greatest assets to be resilience, a sense of humour, her son and a cat called Jimmy!
