Examples of successful projects include designing and delivering a high level Security Risk Management programme for local CSOs in South Sudan, advising clients on ISO audit requirements and accreditation for clients in East Africa and evaluation of the Risk Management strategy against ISO 31000:2009 for an international Collateral Management company.
More recently Trudi has been involved in the design and delivery of Executive Education on a wide range of subjects. She is currently a Teaching Fellow at Lancaster University Management School, one of the top business schools in Europe, delivering on the Senior Leaders Masters programme. A qualified coach and mentor, Trudi’s combination of international experience, deep knowledge of executive education, subject matter expert in topical areas and ability to produce high quality material has resulted in her creating flagship programmes for a number of institutions.
