The FintechNorth community has benefitted from Georgina’s support and she has spoken at our events on topics as wide ranging as women in fintech, alternative lending and ESG in the savings market. Her more traditional financial services background brings a different perspective and her contacts have helped extend our reach beyond the tech community.

Chris Sier, Chairman, Fintech North and HM Treasury’s Fintech Envoy

Georgina’s in depth knowledge of the wealth management market has been invaluable in refining our offering. She constructively challenged our understanding of the target market, our product development roadmap and our sales and marketing strategy, all in a manner resembling a casual conversation that belied the structure underneath. She has helped redefine our long term strategy, giving it renewed focus, and the operational process required to best support that strategy. After only three months, these changes are already making their mark on the business.

We brought Georgina onboard because we needed to strengthen and diversify our governance. Her input has led to a more structured approach to our activities, including strategic planning and treasury management. The transition has not always been easy, but trustees feel better informed through training Georgina arranged and better placed to challenge the executive team as a result.

Liz Jones, Chair, Harrogate Neighbours Housing Association

Georgina has been a fantastic addition to our Governing body and we have welcomed the constructive challenge that she brings. One of her greatest contributions has been her network of contacts; from finding a black British Airways pilot to provide an aspirational role model for our multicultural school community to sourcing electronic devices for low-income families when pupils started to work from home during the pandemic, her commitment to the role and what she can achieve in a couple of phone calls has never ceased to amaze me.

Georgina brought a wealth of knowledge about investment management that has strengthened the Board’s understanding of how best to manage its assets and ensure the sustainability of the charitable foundation for future generations. The little ideas also added significant value, such as how to strengthen our cyber security defences and the importance of considering inclusion as well as diversity.
