Helena Thurnstrom, Head of EDI at the Leasing Foundation, joins Edward Peck for a candid conversation about diversity, leadership and cultural change in the asset finance industry. From organising the industry’s first Pride march to launching new gender research, Helena explores why meaningful inclusion requires more than policies and public statements. They discuss the tension between purpose and profit, the risk of performative initiatives, and why real progress depends on empathy, leadership and persistence.
