Sue Round

Sue has more than 25 years’ experience in people development across multiple sectors, including the aviation, telecoms, retail, financial services, and energy spaces. She has led large, complex global teams with responsibility for learning in all its aspects, notably leadership development, talent management, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

With her trademark intellectual rigour, Sue thinks carefully and deeply about the challenges her clients are facing and seeks to establish strong connections with everyone she works with so she can get to the heart of what they want to achieve.

Sue has a master’s degree from the University of Surrey and holds a Doctorate from Oxford Brookes University. She is an ICF accredited coach, a Fellow of the CIPD, and is trained in multiple psychometrics. She has served on the UK Government’s Employee Engagement Task Force and on the boards of the Learning Skills Improvement Service and Working Chance.
