Acclaimed Birmingham business leader brings expertise to benefit students 

“As a passionate advocate for business engagement with education, I’m looking forward to working even more closely with an institution that is so focused on creating opportunities for the city’s young people and making a substantial impact on the local economy,” she said. 

In the context of the current economic climate, she said retaining and developing talent was at the front of mind for every employer. 

“I am therefore delighted to be joining University College Birmingham’s governing board and building on the existing links between our organisations,” she added.

That theme was echoed by TheBusinessDesk.com’s West Midlands assistant editor, Anna Cooper, who said: “The last few years have revealed that the most successful leaders are those able to adapt.

“Leaders who can navigate the twists and turns of the ever-changing business landscape and forge on through economic uncertainty are vital in this post-pandemic world.”
