Bernadette Howlett

Over my 30+ year career, I have worked to have a material impact. My personal purpose is to know that many lives have breathed easier because I have lived. I strive to help our society, our teams and ourselves to be at our best. I have driven transformational change in 60+ enterprise and industry defining engagements across my clients in Financial Services, Transport and Tourism as well as Industrial markets. My work focuses predominately on growth. I work to create a more sustainable social, environmental, and economic context for us all. I thrive when pursuing new frontiers, creating opportunities for market change and when capturing the hearts and minds of others along the way to make an enduring difference. I am currently the Managing Director – Global Growth Platforms at The Palladium Group. Our ambition globally is to positively impact the lives of 150 million people by 2025. My purpose it to connect impact opportunities with communities and investment capital around the world. I previously worked as a strategy Partner with Strategy& PwC with a 22-year career in consulting. My aspiration every day is to amplify my impact beyond the boundaries of the markets I know and to enable that experience to now move globally as part of Palladium - an impact driven organisation. I work to share that experience with others in new markets and in doing so bring economic growth, sustainability, and social impact to as many people as I can.
