In June 2021, Dr Esther Miriam Wagner took on sole executive responsibility for the Woolf Institute, aiming to further develop the Woolf Institute's impact on society and to facilitate an inclusive culture.

Founder Director Dr Kessler will moved to the role of Founder President and will continue to contribute through scholarship and media work as an expert on inter-faith relations. He will advocate for and actively support the Woolf Institute, and remain on the Board of Trustees and the Development Council.

Building on Dr Kessler's vision, Dr Wagner's aim is to further define and develop the Woolf Institute's impact on society, strengthen its financial sustainability, recruit diverse talent, and facilitate an inclusive and co-creative culture that demonstrates how religious understanding can foster societal cooperation.
