This week, I’m joined by the wonderful Jo Gilfoy. Jo is someone that kept me sane throughout my corporate career and is someone that I looked up to and I am very much inspired by her. She brings a brilliant combination of being very strategic, very directive, and very clear but also brings a lot of femininity and sparkle to any room that she’s in.

Jo is Global Head of Commercial, Planning and Engagement at Vodafone and has worked in telco for over 25 years.

We talk about Jo’s career, being courageous and kind, the importance of being part of a woman’s network and Jo’s shoes!
