Anna Barez-Brown,
Aspire Programme Leader & Executive Coach

Anna is a highly experienced Aspire executive coach and facilitator with over 10 years experience of working with board level executives and managers to improve the quality of leadership, business performance and communication.  Her clients include SAP, Yahoo, Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Linklaters, Freshfields LLP and KPMG.
