Bio

⭕ Diversity is our superpower. Passionate about driving positive change & maximising potential, I believe that transformation is possible by leveraging diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) & fostering a culture of belonging. ✅ I offer a unique blend of over 20 years’ expertise in: - corporate law (solicitor at Memery Crystal, Charles Russell Speechlys, Pictons LLP & IBB Law) - diversity & inclusion (leading on diversity programmes for national & global clients) - healthcare (C-suite leadership roles at Roche & Cycle Pharmaceuticals) - media commentary (BBC TV & radio, Financial Times, The Guardian). 🔴 A simple ‘Why, What, How’ framework improves leadership impact by asking 3 questions: - “Why are we doing this?” - “What are we doing?” - “How are we doing it?” It is an honour to be a partner at Korn Ferry, a global organisational consultancy that unlocks the potential of organisations through people. ✴️ At Korn Ferry, we are on a mission to make business 'radically human'. ✴️ We unlock the potential of employees at all levels. ✴️ We care about people, the planet & profit. ✴️ We put DEI at the heart of everything we do. ✴️ And we work with our clients to create the future of work. My focus at Korn Ferry is on delivering high impact, sustainable DEI solutions to corporate clients across the EMEA region, transforming organisational culture with a collaborative approach. My leadership impact has been recognised by The Financial Times, UK Prime Minister, Queen Elizabeth II (MBE for services to diversity & young people) & honorary doctorates. ✅ I am committed to shaping the global practice & dialogue around DEI in a collaborative, sustainable manner. ✅ I co-host LinkedIn live discussions (‘Starting Conversations: Why Diversity Matters’) with my son, Max Abimbola, interviewing inspiring leaders about the importance of DEI. ✅ Max and I also co-host 'The Power of Privilege & Allyship' podcast, celebrating a diverse range of leaders who have leveraged all forms of privilege to become more effective allies & transform lives. ✅ I use Lean Six Sigma & Positive Psychology principles to drive operational efficiency across all processes & practices. UK-based with dual Nigerian & British citizenship, I am proud to speak Yoruba (a Nigerian language) fluently. ❤️ Most importantly, I am a proud mother to Max (a future software engineer).
