From Zambia to the Bahamas to Birmingham, the daughter of expat teachers, Zoe’s early years were an eclectic cultural mixing pot which gave her a lifelong love for travel and a deep appreciation for education.

Zoe spent 17 years at the Coca-Cola Company progressing to UK Marketing Director, where she oversaw the 2012 Olympic games, won a Cannes Lion for Creativity (World Cup campaign), led teams of talented people and supported the growth of the UK business to over £1bn revenue. 

A mum of 2 fun-loving boys, Zoe moved into the Non-Exec world as they entered their teenage years and has been part of several digital first, high growth, entrepreneurial businesses as they have scaled.  A proud member of WACL, she helped to set up their female mentoring program mid pandemic in 2020.
