In her interview for the article, Judy provides an insight into her successful entrepreneurial career in the recruitment industry and what she has been doing to help woman into the boardroom.

When discussing one of the ways she has done this, co-founding the University of Edinburgh Executive Women in Leadership programme in 2016, she says, “I wanted to look at opening up the funnel for women … we’ve had more than 220 women through it and we now have a really broad network across Scotland.”

Speaking about the needs for a multifaceted workplace, Judy noted, “the best teams are those that are truly diverse, with everyone learning from each other. Older staff can learn much from younger people, and vice versa.”
