Simone is just such a wonderful, wonderful woman that you will absolutely love her story. As an only child growing up in Liverpool, Simone left school and immediately joined the British Navy. This was at a time when women were not allowed to go to sea, so she started off in the office and moved to cryptography before learning how to be an Air Traffic Controller. Pretty cool stuff!
Simone has always been passionate about gender equality, understands the power of mentoring and knew the value of role models so she has always dabbled in this space through her various careers - after the Navy she moved into hospitality and events - and her passion drives her to create events that make a difference, and to work with purpose-driven people. Her first event 'on her own' was massive and she then realised how she could bring people together to make change happen.
Her story is incredibly uplifting as she talks about setting up Northern Power Women, and the Northern Power Collective, initially for school-aged students to talk to people in careers they were considering. She is a generous and warm woman and you can't help but be awestruck by her drive for change. This is an episode you would be mad to miss!
