Description

In this episode of the WomenWise Podcast, host Charlotte Goodger sits down with Remi Iyun, Finance Director, to unpack a career journey that doesn’t follow a straight line - and why that’s not a weakness.

Remi reflects on more than 20 years in finance, moving from accountant to Finance Director, navigating male-dominated environments, stepping back from progression while raising her children, and rebuilding confidence after years of staying in the same role. She speaks candidly about the realities of returning from maternity leave, the lack of flexibility early in her career, and the moment she questioned whether she was still “good enough” to move forward.

This conversation goes beyond job titles. It’s about leadership through people, the power of allies and sponsors, learning to lead with empathy - and why taking a pause doesn’t mean losing momentum.

A thoughtful and honest listen for anyone navigating ambition, caregiving, confidence, and long-term career growth.
