Toni’s been a mentor for the female factor since 2020 and loves to help other women grow. Her career started with a Masters degree in Organisational Psychology in the UK, and became a HR leadership journey spanning 3 countries and 20+ years. She’s worked in the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands, for some of the world’s most respected consumer companies - including Reckitt, Cadbury, Mondelez and Jacobs Douwe Egberts.
