As CEO, I get to work with brilliant people - clients, partners and our own employees - bringing them together to work towards a common goal. Successful businesses depend on people, unlocking the potential of staff and helping them become the best they can be. That said, being a consultant is a fantastic job. You are part of a team creating clients’ success and it’s incredibly satisfying to help them achieve something extraordinary. I have been lucky to perform at the Royal Opera House and represent England in Judo, but today I am more often in a vineyard or watching a game of rugby.

Claire Webster
Chief Financial Officer, NTT DATA UK
My goal has always been to add value to the business and I believe commercial aptitude combined with financial insight is paramount in my role as CFO. Teamwork is also essential, and I’m a big advocate of finance business partnering, acting as a “critical friend” to the business. Starting as a junior accounting clerk at 18 years old, I qualified as an accountant and worked my way up the career ladder, spending the last 25 years working in senior financial and operational roles, mostly in large technology based multinationals. I achieved this with the support of my husband who gave up his job to be a “home dad” for our two children, an unusual arrangement 20 years ago! Today I live in the countryside with my family and numerous animals, including my horse Bella.
