In this episode Paul Griffin is joined by Valerie Gordon-Walker. Valerie is an experienced Group HR Director who, following a career in retail, banking, energy and insurance, transitioned to a Non-Executive Director portfolio career from 2009. Today, Valerie is a Board member across various and complex companies (including the aviation sector, government and insurance at Lloyd’s of London) where she chairs both Remuneration and Nomination Committees. In this edition of the podcast we take the opportunity to discuss Valerie’s career path and why she feels now is the time for senior HR professionals to contribute as Non-Executive Directors in the Boardroom.
