Pip is the sum of many parts, a talented performer and busy HR Professional who also cherishes quieter times with her husband and two rescue Jack Russell dogs.

Take a listen...

Coffee loving Anna is a lady after our own hearts... why?

Because she loves champagne too! Well anyone who likes a glass of bubbly and the Chrysalis Crew clearly has good taste!

Anna is currently using every ounce of resilience she has as both she and her family have been living in a building site since last October whilst her house undergoes extending and developing - she’s a braver lady than us!

And talking of bravery, Anna was courageous enough to strike out on her own after a long and illustrious career with John Lewis a year ago.

So tune in to find out more about Anna, and what the ONE thing she wishes she’d known before starting her career in HR... and why not pour a glass of bubbly as you listen!

A shared background in retail unites the disruptive duo of Kelly Swinger, Founder of The Chrysalis Crew, and Andrea Wilby, Human Resources Manager at rradar.

Andrea is bringing her own brand of disruption to rradar and shaking up the often very traditional world of legal firms.

Away from the workplace, Andrea keeps active with both personal fitness and her family, and you’ll hear her talk about a big family event due later in the year!

Her response to the ONE Thing question made us all laugh, and will sound familiar to many HR professionals.

Enjoy Andrea’s story...
