How Mala is building a better working world
“My corporate governance role at EY means keeping boards up-to-date on what matters to investors, regulators and other key stakeholders. I help businesses understand the practical implications of existing and upcoming requirements, enabling them to report in a meaningful and balanced manner. These activities are vital to creating accountability in the capital markets system - helping to build and create trust.
In my role as trustee, overseeing the work done by Bliss has enabled the charity to influence government policies and provide information and other support resources to parents. This has helped make a difference and led to better outcomes for babies and their families.”
