Leila very kindly stepped in at the 11th hour to support out International Women’s Day conference after we reached out to the IOD. She is passionate, drive and has a keen desire to help others. She reached out to her network and together with another fantastic peaker, co-hosted a masterclass on “building an sustaining a diverse and inclusive culture in the boardroom”. Not only that, but Leila raced back from an early London meeting to get back to Chester to make sure she was there too. She has been incredibly supportive and I’m so pleasure we have connected.
