Prior to founding Beyond Governance, Erika held senior roles across FTSE-listed companies including InterContinental Hotels Group, Premier Foods, Low & Bonar, and KPMG. She became one of the youngest executives to advise a FTSE 250 board, demonstrating a longstanding commitment to governance excellence at the highest levels.
