Our Captains of Industry Talks is a series of online talks where graduates and students will hear from a range of inspirational industry leaders. They are an opportunity to hear first-hand from experts in their field regarding their career journey, lessons learned, and the impacts of COVID-19 on their sector.

Louise is a Chartered Surveyor by profession and has spent her career in real estate. Starting out in academia and research, Louise held lecturing and research posts at three different universities. Having published research focusing on sustainability and real estate investment, she moved on to lead the investment research programme of an industry membership organisation and then on to lead sustainability programmes at three different real estate businesses.
Louise will talk about her career journey, sharing insights and advice she has learned along the way, as well as discussing how COVID-19 has impacted the retail real estate sector and what challenges and opportunities she sees happening longer term as a result.
