Reporting to the Global CEO, Philippa joins Verian’s Executive Board. Alongside Steven Ramsey, Chief Financial Officer, and Zarina Ward, Chief People Officer, her appointment completes the global line up.
“We have entered our third year as an independent business in strong growth and with a renewed focus on innovation for our clients, across the public policy cycle, and for greater effectiveness in our activities across our international teams at Verian. Once we met Philippa, we knew we had found someone who combines exceptional leadership with a deep commitment to the values that drive our organisation forward. I am so very pleased to have her join us."
I’m personally enthused to be joining an organisation that impacts global society through their daily work - giving voice to minority and vulnerable groups within our community to inform public policy. This work resonates strongly with my values, so I am delighted to have the opportunity to make my own contribution in the coming months.”
