Liz has worked at Lifecycle Software for nine years and was recently promoted to CEO . She joined the company first as a part-time Revenue Assurance Manager , returning to her career after a break to care for family , but never imagined she ’ d one day take on the top role .
“ Lifecycle is proud to implement inclusive policies that support diversity , such as flexible and remote working , parental leave and accommodations for employees with disabilities and neurodiversity ,” she says .
The company has always had an active graduate scheme to foster young talent and recently joined the City , University of London Micro-Placements Programme , to allow students from underrepresented backgrounds to gain professional experience .
“ Diversity in the workplace has undoubtedly evolved to reflect broader societal changes supporting more inclusive and equitable environments . More women are working in the mobile space than when I joined Lifecycle , for instance , and neurodiversity is better recognised – but challenges remain .”
