About Tracey 

My passion is to help business leaders define and embrace what ‘doing the right thing’ means for them using valued behaviours, activated purpose, and corporate culture as critical levers for transformational change and creation of risk-resilient, responsible business.

As a Partner at DWF and as the Founder / Director of Intelligent Ethics, my work involves advising and equipping leaders how to unlock sustainable performance, innovation and transformational growth by building an integrated environmental, social and governance (ESG) architectural framework embracing ethical values, corporate purpose and human-centred leadership at its core.

I enable executive and management teams to embrace the leadership paradoxes of our time, such as developing a digital mindset as a people-focused leader. Today’s uncertain, ambiguous and challenging world requires resilient, self-aware and agile leaders that can transition through change quickly, shape and build new growth opportunities, mitigate risk and transform business fit for a sustainable future.
