S2: E3 – In Conversation with… Johanna Beresford on Women in Leadership
Series 2, episode 2: In Conversation with... Johanna Beresford on Women in Leadership
In Conversation with… is a podcast series in celebration of the fantastic work being actioned in the world of diversity and inclusion.
Through hard-hitting topics, sharing of personal experiences and being comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations, In Diverse Company brings a refreshing series of weekly interviews with change champions across the industry.
In this episode of our season 2 of In Conversation With, we speak with Johanna Beresford, one of the few CEOs of a human and technology firm.
She started In Diverse Company while being pregnant with her third child. Before this, she served as the International HR Director of various firms for about 20 years, and found herself being particularly interested in the different cultures around the world. She noticed there was so much diversity, but very few firms took advantage of this breadth in perspective, partly because it’s a difficult thing to do. And therefore, she thought with her expertise and passion, she can create a difference in the working world, and went on to start this firm.
Here, she talks about how she is a CEO, a wife and a mother and what it means to be a woman in leadership.
