Louise said: “I’m delighted to join the British Heart Foundation’s Board of Trustees. Throughout my career I’ve seen the power of purpose driven cultures to transform lives. BHF’s mission to save and improve lives through world-leading research deeply resonates with my own commitment to values led leadership and organisational transformation.
“I’m proud to lend my non-executive and executive experience to support such an important cause and to help shape a culture that enables people, and the organisation, to thrive.”
Karen Frank, Chair of Trustees, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Louise to our Board. Louise’s breadth of experience leading people, culture, and organisational transformation across major global brands will bring invaluable insight to our work.
“And Louise’s deep understanding of purpose driven leadership and instinct for creating environments where people and organisations can thrive will be a tremendous asset as we continue to drive forward BHF’s mission.”
