Director of L&D, Barnardos

With a 20 year career working in L&D, Jodie brings a wealth of experience to her role at the UK’s largest children’s charity, Barnardo’s. Having both operational and strategic responsibility within her role, she’s able to align theory and practice and share tangible examples of bringing products to life – especially when working within a small team or limited budget. Her focus on people experience and continual improvement drives her vision for L&D. She delivers this through understanding user needs, making data based decisions, focussing on sustainability and building an empowered culture within her team. This approach has led her to award winning success. She is thrilled to be part of the event this year.
