Former chief strategy officer Dawn Fowler-Stevens steps up as chief of staff
Aster Group has appointed its first ever chief of staff to the executive board.
Dawn Fowler-Stevens has stepped up to the role after spending seven years as chief strategy officer at the 37,000-home housing association. She was also previously associate director at property services company Savills.
In the newly developed position, Fowler-Stevens will be supporting the group’s chief executive Bjorn Howard to “drive the efficiency and effectiveness of the Group through its strategic priorities”, according to Aster.
Fowler-Stevens said: “This evolution of my existing role on the executive board, will allow me to build upon the remit of connecting with the breadth of our people across our business. Critically, I’ll be making sure we continue to have a common golden thread that runs through everything we do.

“The development of the role reflects the great progress we’ve made as a business over the years. This is about us staying true to our core purpose of delivering social value and impact while preparing for the future. Ultimately, we need to be able to play our role in building as many new homes as possible to address this country’s enduring housing crisis as well as ensuring our existing homes and services are as sustainable as they can be.”
Aster provides housing across the south of England and London and last year announced a £580m investment to build 2,600 homes by March 2026.
It was set up in 1990 and has £2.4bn worth of social housing assets.
