Episode 7 - We can. We will. with Dr Joanna Abeyie, MBE, Founder of BLUE MOON

I can thank Jess and Nat from Mac + Moore (who I spoke to in episode 2 last week!) for introducing me to today's guest a few months back. On an evening in January (which feels like forever ago right now, doesn't it?!), they arranged a dinner with friends and fellow Founders to meet and connect and over the course of G&Ts and oh so scrummy dinner at Caravan in Kings Cross, I got to know the vivacious and ever-inspiring Dr Joanna Abeyie, MBE.

As the Non-Executive Director for Investors in People, a Trustee for The Lord Mayor’s Appeal, the first and only black person to be made a Trustee and Director of The Media Society, not to mention the Founder and CEO of Blue Moon - the executive search and diversity and inclusion consultancy based in London - it's safe to say that Jo is one incredibly busy lady; masterfully skilled in juggling numerous public engagements, board meetings, teams and various projects on a daily basis. As the name suggests, with over 12 years' experience championing diversity, inclusion and equality in the workplace behind her, the award-winning business owner has recently been appointed an MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list too.

No biggie eh..!?

With that in mind therefore, I caught up with her on Friday afternoon last week (over Zoom of course) to find out what impact the coronavirus has had on her day-to-day life, business and mindset so far as well as her all-important advice for each and every one of us going forward...

She can. She did. is hosted by Fiona Grayson (that's me, hello!) and was launched in August 2017.

The good old social handles should you fancy a further peek!
