Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
“Her knowledge and enthusiasm match her positive energy in promoting neurodiversity as an opportunity employers should embrace and not fear. Her interest comes from personal experience, which is underpinned by scientific analysis. She promotes this need for cultural change to embrace wider diversity in such a way that you want to sign up and be part of her journey. It’s not coincidental that she is increasingly asked to present at conferences or comment on discussion forums around neurodiversity. Holly is a shining light; we’re lucky to have her in cyber security.” – Colin, Cyber Incident Director, Rolls-Royce
“Holly has been fantastic in driving awareness of neurodiversity across the cyber security industry. In an area where there is so much misunderstanding, Holly brings absolute, scientifically backed, clarity. She is a guiding light, that I reference as a true expert. I would always recommend a conversation with Holly for anyone considering neurodiverse interventions and opportunities.” - Edward
