Her Motivation
As a Black British Caribbean woman, introvert, and immigrant, Beverly has experienced first-hand what it means to navigate—and succeed—in spaces where few looked like her. Having moved to the UK 20 years ago, she knows firsthand what it means to start over and work hard to get a foot in the door. Throughout her journey in the corporate world, she became a mentor and fierce champion for women, especially women of colour and professionals who find themselves on the margins. She launched industry-wide networks and shaped supportive communities, paving the way for those who follow.
