Tara Ryan is a VP People Experience at Monzo Bank at Monzo Bank. Colleagues describe her as "Tara is one of the most impressive people I have ever worked with and I believe her to be a real leader in her field. As a leader, I found her to be specifically skilled at building high performance and high psychological safety cultures and creating an environment where people felt empowered to do their best work. Also, as former Head of People myself, I have experienced first hand how challenging it can be to align the broader needs of the business, the collective needs of the group and the needs of individual employees. I found that Tara was exceptional at this, able to hold all three and deliver value for everyone concerned. Mostly I valued her ability to consistently act from integrity and compassion, even when delivering tough or complex messages. I sincerely hope I have the chance to work with her again one day." and "Let me set the scene: it’s the 21st of June, Perkbox Live, London. We’re talking about the fine line between high performance and burnout. Tara walks on stage and absolutely steals the show. Why? Because everything she talked about related to audience’s own experiences. She didn’t just make us think – she made us feel. When she said “never doubt that a small group of people can change the world, indeed – it’s the only thing they can do” it really resonated, and it continues to resonate with me today. So thank you Tara!"
