Meet the Heywood Quarterly Team
Heywood Foundation Chair
Suzanne Heywood
Suzanne started her career in the U.K. Treasury and worked there for several years before joining the private sector. She left the Treasury with a good understanding of the civil service, and a husband: Jeremy Heywood. Over the following years, Jeremy went on to become Cabinet Secretary, working with four different Prime Ministers. When he passed away in 2018, Suzanne set up the Heywood Foundation to promote two of Jeremy‘s passions: innovation and diversity. Heywood Quarterly is the latest addition to the Foundation.
