I am the chief operating officer of the LDX Group, and I have over twenty years’ experience in the financial services industry. I am a mother, a friend, a marathon runner and a triathlete, and an optimist.

But I am also a patient, recovering from major surgery to prevent cancer, and I’m learning to cope with the chronic pain that developed post-operation. I’m also now considered by the NHS to be at higher risk of complications if I should contract Covid-19.
