" Pauline has been a great critical friend during my leadership transition from Deputy Director to Finance Director and member of the board. She balances her considered questions and challenges, formal and informal engagement, with a supportive style. I have valued her encouragement to develop a more strategic, future focused approach to our financial planning.”
