Fran Moscow works with CEOs, board directors and high potential individuals to think clearly about the future they are creating and supports them in achieving it.  She supports CEO’s in succession planning, aligns senior teams and works with private equity portfolio companies to prepare the senior team for exit.

Her remit is to challenge strategy, thinking and behaviour to achieve business objectives, raise performance, generate sustainable change and satisfy the expectations of the Shareholders and Stakeholders. Fran also works with senior women who aspire to a seat on the board as well as presenting to organisations on this subject.   She focuses on educating women around three key areas: Personal branding, Technical expertise and advice around the criteria required to position themselves as a Board Director or NED. Fran stimulates thinking around perceived challenges, sacrifices and the choices necessary if women wish to pursue this route.
