"Leadership does not mean being in charge. It means taking care of the people you are responsible for."

Why is workplace culture important and what makes you an expert in this field?

Workplace culture is critical - we spend so much time at work that it should be a place of respect and collaboration to achieve the best results. What's more, culture is a key driver of ROI: it influences engagement, retention, innovation and overall performance. Leaders who invest in culture see tangible business results. With experience in banking, retail, pharmaceuticals and consulting, I bring a deep understanding of how different cultures work - and what it takes for them to thrive.
