Jane was invited by 10 Downing Street to advise the Department For Business (BEIS) on flexible working but does not believe that government policy and corporate attitudes to motherhood will change.

At the start of the year, she launched the Careering into Motherhood platform, connecting women with professional coaches and coaching resources, directly helping women to access more opportunities to have fulfilling careers and supporting female-owned businesses via the coaching partnership.

During her membership of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and prior to founding WIM CiC, she joined the London board. She became Chair of CIMCOM, the CIM marketing communications forum, working with industry bodies from advertising, public relations and design for six years.

In 2013, she was honoured on the Power List of Black Women in Europe™ and the World of Difference 100 award by The International Alliance for Women (TIAW) in Washington DC for her contribution and dedication to women in marketing.

Throughout her multifaceted career, Ade has worn many hats – including working in advisory roles in regeneration, community politics and fashion, she has spent the majority of her career working in the luxury retail sector and studied marketing at The University of Arts.

In 2020, Ade’s contribution to the industry was recognised in the esteemed global Provoke Media #Innovator25 EMEA list.​

Ade is passionate about challenging gender norms and is an advocate of the global economic empowerment of women.

A media and Public Relations expert, he advises some of the UK’s most influential firms.

Michael shares our belief that social change happens through inclusive discussion and diversity of perspective, and he brings his experience of nuanced political and social change to the business as it grows.

From residing in four different countries over the past eight years, she is highly skilled at developing meaningful relationships in new communities. She enjoys learning about other cultures, different ways of living, and new ways of thinking and expressing.

She joined Careering into Motherhood to continue her passion for unifying and empowering women, especially during such monumental times in their lives. She also shares our enthusiasm for educating employers to create and design workplaces to attract and retain the largely untapped, ambitious talent pool that working mothers like herself represent.
