Dame Helena Morrissey is a financier, campaigner and author.
Former CEO of Newton Investment Management, she then joined Legal and General Management where she spearheaded the launch of the Gender in Leadership UK equity fund. She is the founder of the 30% Club (a cross-business initiative to achieve better gender-balanced UK company boards), a Cambridge philosophy graduate, and is married to a Buddhist meditation teacher with whom she has nine children.
In this expansive interview, Helena discusses the ideas at the heart of her book, A Good TIme to be a Girl, with her editor, Arabella Pike.
They talk about how the workplace has changed since she began her career, the challenges women still face in the corporate environment, and how we can achieve a more equal, balanced workplace and life for everyone.
"I want people to know they are not alone in the way that people might have been many years ago, and that the law is on their side if all else fails."
