Carwyn Meets Katy Chamberlain

In this episode Carwyn sits down with Katy Chamberlain, CEO of Business in Focus

Before taking over the helm at Business in Focus in 2012, Katy spent more than 20 years with international accountancy and advisory firm KPMG, leading teams delivering a variety of services to businesses in Wales and across the UK.

After that she took the role of Chief Executive of Chwarae Teg, the highly respected charity which promotes the role of women in the workforce in Wales.

Katy won the Welsh Woman of the Year Management Achievement Award in 2000 and was President of the South Wales Society of Chartered Accountants in 2010. She is Deputy Chair of the ICAEW Strategy Board for Wales.

Katy considers that her various roles have been the perfect training ground for the leadership of Business in Focus; “I am so lucky to hold this position, working with such a great team to deliver a mission which is crucial to real people, to our communities and the economy as a whole.”

When she’s not doing her day job, Katy spends her time with her family, watching iconic TV series', looking after horses and playing the piano.
