Miriam is an entrepreneur, NED, and advisor to early stage companies. She has spent her career growing companies such as eBay, Figleaves, navabi, TJX and NET-A-PORTER.
In Episode 13 we talk about how behavioural science can help create lasting positive change within companies, the importance of psychological safety and thinking about who is not at the table.
