As a Client Partner, Donna is at the heart of creating long-term relationships based on trust, thereby enabling an environment where the {Emergn} team can do their best work. As the most senior person of colour, Donna’s initial priority has been on leveraging her experience of working at a senior level in large corporations, to the benefit of one that is on a journey of growth. Donna is a leader in business growth, working with both sales and delivery on a global scale (USA,UK, Russia and Latvia). She has also been asked to play a central role, working with the rest of the team, in driving the recruitment initiative and thereby acting as a role model by focusing on the value that people can bring, and in alignment with providing leadership, guidance and purpose to the client teams.
