The CBI has appointed Elizabeth Wallace as Interim Chief People Officer. This is the latest in a series of decisive steps to rebuild trust in the CBI’s culture.

This announcement followed the appointment of business ethics consultancy Principia Advisory. Elizabeth will sit on the CBI’s Committee and will report directly to the Board on matters of workplace conduct and culture. In her role, Elizabeth will start to implement the 35 recommendations by Fox Williams following their independent investigation into allegations of misconduct. This includes integrating the post of CPO into the CBI’s culture – consolidating corporate values and employee experiences as a matter of strategic importance. Previously, Elizabeth has held several leadership roles, including Hg and Director of Executive Search at BlackRock.
