Executive Committee on International Women's Day: Ian Thomas

As part of our ongoing series for International Women’s Day (IWD), our managing director of assurance in the UK and ROW, Ian Thomas, tells us the three women from history he would choose to have coffee with if he had the opportunity, and why.

“Mary Jackson, Malala Yousafzai and Amelia Earhart.

“These women failed to see any barriers to their goals, they were not prepared to compromise, or accept a world dominated by men because they were told to. They are an inspiration to anyone challenging accepted norms and outdated practices.

“I’d want to ask about what drove them, and what gave them the courage to risk everything for what they believed.”

Check in next week to hear from from Nick Rowe, managing director of assurance in North America.
