This week, we were delighted to host Heather Mitchell, General Counsel for Investments and Chief Risk Officer at the Carlyle Group, as part of the Francis Holland Speaker Programme.

She shared insights into the realm of private equity, along with personal anecdotes about her journey. Heather’s talk offered valuable advice, such as taking calculated risks and fostering compatibility with others. Her experiences, from law school to leading her own charity, ‘The LAW-G Afghan charity,’ were particularly fascinating. The Sixth Formers gained meaningful insights into both the finance world and life in general, leaving us truly inspired. The talk was a resounding success!
