Helena Morrissey

Chief Executive, Newton Investment Management

As chief executive of London-based global investment management firm Newton, Helena Morrissey manages around 400 employees and £47 billion of investment.  She is also the founder of the influential 30 Percent Club, whose goal to achieve 30% women on the boards of FTSE 100 companies is now within sight, with the current figure standing at 26%. A mother of nine, Morrissey’s day begins at 5am and finishes at 11pm, and she says the family sometimes text each other at home ‘if you can’t remember where you put somebody’. She was appointed a CBE in 2012, and has been named Most Influential Woman in Asset Management by Financial News.
