Penulis: Catherine Oliver

Catherine Oliver is a Diversity and Inclusion Advisor and Founder of the Bluebell Partnership. She helps organizations from start-ups through to FTSEs overcome the challenges of supporting working parents and developing their gender balance and wider inclusion strategies. A core part of this has become leading group and 1-2-1 sessions with parents, pre, during and post their parental leave. Catherine previously had a 20-year corporate career during which she became a mum, and founded and ran Sky’s parenting network, Parents@Sky. Within a few years the network had over 1500 members and a programme of activities including regular workshops, webinars, events and a website. Catherine went on to co-found Sky’s award-winning Women in Leadership initiative, all alongside her “day job” in the Strategy team. She’s also a regular speaker at industry events. A beach lover at heart, she now lives on the south coast with her husband and daughter.
