Lifeways CEO Andrea Kinkade named finalist in 2026 HealthInvestor Power List

Lifeways Group’s Chief Executive has been named a finalist in this year’s HealthInvestor Power List, recognising the influential leaders, investors and advisers shaping the health and social care sector. 

CEO Andrea Kinkade has been recognised alongside some of the sector’s leading figures, including Tony Romero, CEO of Cygnet Group, who recently joined Andrea on the Complex Care CEO panel at this year’s HealthCare Summit in London, alongside other influential leaders from across the sector. 

“I’m absolutely delighted to have been named a finalist in this year’s HealthInvestor Power List, particularly alongside so many respected and influential figures from across the sector,” said Andrea. 

“Since becoming CEO of Lifeways in 2022, I’ve been incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved as a group and the progress we continue to make in shaping the future of social care. From embracing responsible AI and positioning Lifeways at the forefront of its adoption, to investing in our teams, our services and the people we support, our focus has always been on driving improvements that enhance the quality of care we deliver. 

“Ultimately, our greatest measure of success is the impact we have on people's lives. Initiatives such as our 30 Wishes programme give people with complex needs the opportunity to fulfil personal ambitions, try new experiences and create lasting memories. Alongside the dedication and commitment of our teams across Lifeways, these are the achievements that make me most proud of what we do.

“I wish all the other finalists the very best of luck and look forward to seeing the winners announced next month.”

The HealthInvestor Power List recognises the influential figures shaping the future of health and social care, spanning a range of categories including corporate finance, property investment and legal advisory. It highlights individuals making significant contributions to the sector through leadership, innovation and investment. 

Winners will be announced on Thursday, December 3, at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square.
