“First on the Dance Floor: At one of
the RREF Annual Dinner events no
one was dancing, so Ginny and I
decided to get the show started by
launching ourselves onto the central
dancefloor and gyrating around to
some non-descript 1980s hit.”

“Ginny was really helpful to me when I first arrived at Henley 4 years ago.
What I appreciated most was her offer to me to contact her directly on her
mobile if I had any queries about ‘how things work at Henley’. In my time here
I have only used that ‘hot line’ a couple of times, but I will miss the opportunity
to talk through matters with someone who has a such a sensible,
knowledgeable but sensitive approach. Wisdom like this is a rare commodity.”
Steve Ludlow

“Thank you and all the best, Ginny! From the beginning, Ginny was very
supportive of Henley Finland. She has always been very approachable and
helpful, and she always seemed to have time to talk to us. Ginny has
contributed immensely to the VAT exemption of the Henley MBA in Finland
by cooperating with the British Ambassador in Finland and the Finnish
Ministry of Education. For Henley’s 30th Anniversary in Finland, she joined
the Henley Leadership Forum and the Gala Dinner, where she delivered a
wonderful speech to more than 200 alumni and guests. Thank you, Ginny,
for all your support over the years!” Henley Finland, Sabine Doms
“Ginny gave us so much
inspiration and
encouragement in work
and life at Henley. It is
such a fantastic memory
working with Ginny and
she is a great women
leader and role model for
us. Thank you so much
Ginny!” Vicky Li

“I remember Ginny addressing one of our new
intakes during the starter workshop at Greenlands
where she found her unique way of getting the
audience to listen, listen again and then reflect on her
remarks that all were to the point and in the right
moment. And this is one of the key memories I have
of Ginny: a bright and personal individual who may
look quiet and distant but then shows her great
personality and insightfulness in a few words.”
Henley Germany, Felix Müller
“Ginny has been a fantastic supporter for our department and has been
really supportive on a personal level for some of us. A few points:
Phenomenal leadership of the Women in Leadership Group and the
impact she has made; At many events she has been a fantastic Chair of
panels, really bringing out the potential of the different panel members.
We know that she puts a lot of work in to the preparation of those roles,
and then makes it look effortless on the day! A great role model; Ginny
has been enormously supportive of the Alumni and Development
department when she was ‘Acting Director’. It was great working with
her. She always welcomes and values different viewpoints and is open to
exploring ‘off the wall’ ideas. Anecdote wise: I think of a time she was
participating in some filming on the Greenlands campus and the more
than challenging weather conditions required quite a lot of resilience, and
take after take after take. But Ginny persisted!” Gudrun Kuhlmeier

“She has been a fantastic supporter of RREF, ensuring a good connection
between the school and the Real Estate industry, which has been priceless, and
she is extremely well regarded by all who know her in the industry. I believe she
has also been incredibly supportive of the Springboard programme, giving her
time generously to be a guest speaker at the workshops and sharing her
personal story and experience to encourage others and give other women the
confidence to progress. On a personal level, when I first joined the business
school I was the only person in the team with children and Ginny very kindly
spoke to me one day acknowledging this and told me that she had children and
knew the challenges of balancing so that if I ever needed to speak to anyone I
was welcome to speak with her – thankfully I survived, but knowing she had said
that certainly gave me a little extra resilience when needed!” Kerry Johnston
“It was always a pleasure
having her here in Denmark
for both the staff and the
students.” Henley Denmark,

“Supportive Manager: The numerous times that Ginny went out of her
way to thank me personally for some work undertaken, initiative
implemented or idea suggested.” Anonymous

“If I hadn’t met Ginny I wouldn’t be working here at Henley today. I first met
Ginny when I was working at Nicole Farhi and volunteering for Henley’s Women
in Leadership (WIL) Committee. Every business school and business today has
some sort of “women in” activity however Henley’s WIL has been a huge success
with sell out events and inspirational speakers and I really do think a big part of
its success is due to Ginny’s leadership style, vision and passion about
improving the gender gap. I joined Henley in January this year and Ginny has
been a tremendous support in helping me understand the complexities of HE,
guiding me, supporting me and encouraging me. For all of this I owe her a big
thanks and look forward to keeping in touch and hearing all about her exciting
and more interesting (than chairing committees) activities and interests.” Julia

“Ginny is an excellent champion for women in leadership; she is
passionate about the topic and also a great role model for aspiring female
colleagues. I have enjoyed working on projects with her; she is welcoming
of new ideas, supportive and approachable. For our student competition,
Henley Challenge, she always made an effort to speak to the finalists
about their interests and presentation and generally encourage them;
which I know was appreciated by them. Her presence and input will
definitely be missed here!” Jenny Murray-Cox
“I’ve only been with Henley Business School
for just over 3 months but on my interview
day I remember I had just had my main
interview and was waiting to meet some of
the digital team and was sat on the sofas in
the Henley café and a woman came over and
took the time out of her day to have a nice
conversation with me and put my nerves at
ease, which really helped with providing a
positive image of Henley Business School. It
was only when I began working at Henley
that I realised this woman was Ginny! I wish
Ginny the best for her retirement and I think
that her warm and welcoming character will
be truly missed.” Rose Lloyd

“What I have really appreciated
about Ginny is that she considers
proposals in a measured,
analytical and empathetic way
that inspires confidence in any
decision taken by the top team at
Henley.” Anonymous
“2.5 years in (1 April 2008) … Fool’s day: I send an email to Ginny (then head
of department) to tell her that I received an offer from a US university and I
accepted it. The tone of my emails was very sad (I am really sorry to let you
know … but it was an offer I could not really turn down … etc.). After an hour or
2 I meet her in the corridor and I pretend nothing happened, so she starts the
conversation … “I have read your letter…..”, “Which letter? … Ah yes, the letter I
sent this morning, I see”. She continues: “you know, I thought about it and I also
spoke with Neil ….” So I interrupt her and say: “Ginny but what day is it today?”
Strange face as she does not get the point. “yes, you know it is a very particular
day … the first day of a particular month…”. In that moment, the tension falls
from her face, she smiles but still has the energy inside her to be released. So,
what does she do? She punches me on my arm a couple of times saying: “it is
better for you that is not midday yet!” Wow! I did not know there was a time limit
on jokes! (as in Italy there isn’t) … Otherwise, she may have accepted my
resignation … and the rest is history” Gianluca Marcato

“On a personal level she and I
have a similar family situation with
our husbands and she has been a
good source of advice.” Dr Paola
Tinti
“I had the pleasure of meeting Ginny when I participated in the
2016 Henley Challenge finals and subsequently through the
Henley Alumni and Development Board. Ginny always made
time to talk everyone; as a student in particular, I admired her
fountain of knowledge and experience. She provided me with
invaluable guidance and support throughout the Henley
Challenge and during my final year of study when I was
conflicted on what opportunities to take after graduating. I
don’t think I would have made the right choice without her!”
Mark Smith, BA Accounting and Management

“Ginny, your smile and energy are contagious! You always take a pragmatic
approach to problem-solving and have been a role model. Wishing you all the
best for your next adventure.” Mona Ashok
“Having been through a difficult period in the workplace, I hesitantly
approached Ginny to share several thoughts and concerns. Despite her
busy schedule, she listened to me attentively and proffered
encouragement and advice. Furthermore, her professional modus
operandi, which entailed being approachable, noticing hard work,
critically examining perspectives and acting as a mentor for junior
female members of staff, enhanced my sense of eagerness to work for,
and learn from her.” Anonymous.
