Michael Thompson (EY) joins the Advisory Board

We are delighted to share that Michael Thompson, UK & Ireland Managing Partner of Consumer & Health at EY, has joined the Advisory Board of LEAD Network  further strengthening his commitment to fostering inclusive and diverse workplaces.

With nearly 25 years at EY, Michael has held key leadership roles across Consumer, Strategy and EY’s People Consulting business, including Global Deputy and EMEIA Managing Partner of Consumer & Health, EMEIA Strategy Leader and EMEIA People Consulting Leader. He has also served on the EMEIA and UK & Ireland management boards and has continuously led client relationships across Retail and Consumer Products.

In his own words:
"Supporting emerging talent to achieve their potential is one of the most critical roles that leaders must play. By fostering inclusive cultures and recognizing how demographic intersectionality impacts access to opportunity, talent from all backgrounds can be empowered to thrive.  LEAD understands that this is perhaps more essential in Consumer Products and Retail, where deep understanding of consumers and their communities drives success.
