Founder of Northern Power Women, Simone Roche MBE, joins us for our eighth PSE podcast to discuss the acceleration of women in business, talking us through her journey to Northern Power Women and how she was made in the Royal Navy.

With hosts Emily Rodgers and Ailsa Cowen, the conversation kept flowing in the PSE podcast room in Manchester as Simone talks us through the shift in business culture and why we need to celebrate role models in the North. 

Not one to do thing by half measures, Simone outlines how she keeps the Northern Powerhouse Minister in check for gender equality and including people of all ages, races and backgrounds into the conversation.

Bringing an engaged community of 50,000 along on this journey with her and the exiting new projects they have to look forward to in 2020. 

 
 As inspiring as she is enthusiastic, she is a champion or the North, and understands why the public sector needs diversity of thought to thrive in the new decade and how connectivity is absolutely essential. 

This podcast is for you if you are passionate about the north, although she did say she was ‘over’ the North/South divide and is working to improve ‘the art of our possible’ for everyone, everywhere!
