We are thrilled to welcome Helen Tubb, a longstanding PWI member and ambassador, as our guest speaker for this special Christmas Edition.
Helen is a leadership and inclusion advisor, bringing top credentials from business and academia infused with her authentic story.
Helen's 30+ year career originates in policy analysis and implementation services for large government clients, spanning Europe, Asia and the US. She stood in senior executive teams for more than a decade as:
- Vice President for eight-figure, high-growth P&Ls
- Managing Director of the EU office
- Strategic lead for organisational transformation across two continents
Often "the only woman in the room" at senior levels, she has spearheaded DEI and cultural change initiatives, including:
- Chairing a Gender-balanced Leadership Task Force to advance women's careers
- Innovating a Cultural Broker Community to foster collaboration across 50+ nationalities and multiple offices
Aged 50, Helen decided to "go back to school" and study world-class thinking on individual and organisational psychology, honing her ability to work with the hidden drivers of human behaviour and the dynamics of organisational transformation:
- Earning, with distinction, an Executive Master in Change from INSEAD Business School
- Undertaking ground-breaking research on women's sponsorship, recommended for public journals by INSEAD faculty
Helen's personal experiences have profoundly shaped her outlook, bringing deep empathy for others and the courage to carry on. She subtly weaves these insights into her work with clients, offering a profoundly authentic and impactful perspective on what it means to live, work and be human in leadership.
