As a female entrepreneur running a business in the traditionally male-oriented science and innovation sector, I previously found it difficult to meet other women in similar situations, but I have found many inspirational role models through Enterprising Women. Enterprising Women has helped me grow by giving me insight into how successful companies are run, and offering business support and advice.
Real name:
I started out my working career in the City with Lloyds Bank where I worked for 14 years.
My next role couldn't have been more different, as PA to the Chief Executive at Smithfield Market, here I learnt about the history of the City of London, its links to the Corporation of London, The Guildhall, Mansion House and the Lord Mayor of London. I also became a Freeman of the City of London.
I also first found my connection to the City Livery Companies, which started a long and interesting career with these historic organisations and their wonderful Livery Halls!
