Sonia Jenkins

I’m a Chief People Officer and business leader with experience shaping people, culture and organisational strategy in complex, global financial services businesses. I’m focused on driving business performance through people — building the leadership, culture, organisation and talent needed to deliver sustainable growth. At Schroders, I’ve been part of the leadership team driving a significant business transformation, helping reshape the organisation and leadership model, reset culture and performance expectations, and align the workforce and people agenda behind a return to profitable growth. My experience spans enterprise transformation, organisational design, culture, leadership, reward, workforce strategy and HR transformation. I’ve worked closely with Boards and Executive Committees through periods of significant change, from reshaping leadership teams and operating models to improving performance, managing people costs and building commercially focused HR functions. I bring a combination of commercial pragmatism, intellectual rigour, deep people expertise and a strong understanding of how organisations actually get things done.
