When asked about her new role, Carol said “I am looking forward to the challenge of being head of department. Adrian Bell is a hard act to follow, but I plan to build on the Centre’s proud history of innovation as we review our programmes in the light of the changing world of work and the opportunities afforded by Fintech”.
She went on to say “It is vital that we continue to build on the sense of community that we have here. My aim is to facilitate the development of individuals and teams within our organisation so that we can contribute to Henley, to the University of Reading and to the wider community”.
