Danusia Malina-Derben is  an inspiring  mother of ten including her “last baby', triplets of seven years old. She is an entrepreneur and straight-talking consultant. After earning her PhD scholarship, Danusia rose from ESRC Research Fellow to senior levels as an Organisational Behaviour and Development expert. Much of her academic research focused on cross-cultural research & impact in OB. She has authored more than 30 international articles and book chapters and remains one of a select few in the United Kingdom to secure publication in the prestigious US-based, Academy of Management Journal on cross-cultural methodology. 

After leaving her tenured academic post she became an authority on C-level execs and Boards. Through her C-suite consulting Danusia influences the way Boards strategise; redirects company vision, reignites C-suiters influence and re-aligns their leadership prowess. A ‘pocket dynamo’, Danusia’s straightforward interventions [combined with her humour and warmth] bring results. Danusia’s knowledge and background in cross-cultural Organisational Behaviour and Development enable her to work impactfully with clients in Europe, North America, Asia, Australasia, Africa and Antarctica. 

In 2018 Danusia launched School For Mothers. Through the School for Mothers business Podcast and work with progressive organisations, School for Mothers upends old narratives and practices that limit the potential of individual mothers and those collectively within businesses.  Her upcoming book sets out new paradigms for ambitious mothers who want more than balance. Danusia is also host of second business podcast, the School for Fathers Podcast.
