In July 2024, Jo was appointed as our Chief Experience and Transformation Officer, working as part of our senior C-suite team. Previously, Jo was in the role of Director of People and Culture after joining Southdown in 2021.

There are wonderful synergies between helping clients achieve fuller lives and doing the same for colleagues across Southdown. I believe if we look after each other we can do something extraordinary for our clients.”
