Perspectives from those who have experienced Baroness Verma’s insight, leadership, and engagement.
"Baroness Verma’s leadership is defined by a rare combination of moral clarity, strategic acuity, and an unwavering commitment to broadening access to opportunity. She does not approach inclusion as rhetoric, but as a disciplined, outcome-driven endeavour—consistently creating pathways for underrepresented voices to enter, influence, and ultimately lead within complex institutional and commercial environments. Her ability to convene across sectors, coupled with her deep understanding of policy, enterprise, and social impact, enables her to translate ambition into tangible, scalable change. On a personal level, her support has been both incisive and empowering grounded in a genuine commitment to seeing others succeed on their own terms, while holding them to the highest standards of excellence. She brings not only mentorship, but sponsorship: opening doors, challenging thinking, and reinforcing the importance of leadership that is both principled and commercially astute. Any platform seeking to advance inclusive leadership and entrepreneurship would be significantly strengthened by her voice, her network, and her example."

As a Trustee in the MMF UK, she brings a depth of experience that seamlessly bridges policy, philanthropy, and enterprise—helping us think not only about scale, but about sustainability and long-term impact. Her ability to connect purpose with structure has added significant value to our work, particularly as we continue to expand our global outlook."

"Baroness Sandy Verma has been a dear friend and huge supporter of my global Charity 'TMBDLF' where she had kindly hosted our 10th Annual Lecture Event at the UK House of Lords, gave an opening keynote address at the historic TMBDLF event, contributed to 'The Brawn Review' report on Boardroom Sustainability, Inclusion and Governance and appeared our 'The D.A.R.E. Podcast' sharing her successful mindsets tips. I had also won a 'Women of Influence' Award at the highly inspirational annual event in 2025 founded/led by the fabulous Baroness Sandy. She had also presented me with another award in January 2024 at the UK House of Lords where she hosted the UK African and Caribbean Awards for the Top 50 African Caribbean leaders in the UK. It is also pleasure to work with her at the University of Roehampton in her capacity as Chancellor and mine as Professor (Hon) of Business and Law since 2023. Her ongoing work and support for diverse global business and charity leaders like myself is game-changing."

"BV is my go to for any requirement for a Chair, Speaker or Panellist who, whilst diplomatic and charming, won't toe the line and deliver what an audience want, but rather what they need. Her direct style has awakened and amused many an audience that I have convened or helped to convene on topics including energy, energy policy and gender diversity. I reported to the POWERful Women Board, the initiative that BV and Laura Sandys co-founded to improve gender diversity in the top UK energy companies, and her insights, knowledge and inimitable style powered the initiative from 'nice to have' to 'must have now'. In the privacy of a boardroom or in public, she will always overhaul worn-out thinking and drive change. "
Maria Blakley
Corporate Lead, Board and Leadership Development, Nurole
"In all my years working with the Baroness, she has gone above and beyond the call of duty. I don't know where she finds the energy. Whether it was hosting 8:00 a.m. breakfast meetings or dinners on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade, even if it was on short notice and even if she had other duties and obligations at home that she had to finish before coming to support us. Anything to do with helping the UK, helping investment into the UK, and helping entrepreneurs. She was always available and made herself available easily, over and above the call of duty. Absolutely incredible. Britain is great because it has people like the Baroness. I don't know too many people like the Baroness, I have to confess, but she is extraordinary."
Alpesh Patel
Dealmaker, The Global Entrepreneur Programme
"I have had the great opportunity of seeing Baroness Verma speak at a number of events and conferences, usually as the chair of a critical conversation about gender equality and how we develop more inclusive spaces that are so key to delivering gender balanced leadership that is so urgently required across businesses and communities. She is firm, fair and holds leadership fully to account for their strategies and actions. She is intellectually curious, asks searching questions, but always treats everyone with respect and civility. She has refined the art of spotting waffle and "non-answers" to a higher artform and can quickly pivot a conversation towards better outcomes without losing her audience and her fellow speakers. She excels at bringing everyone into the conversation and has a naturally inclusive style. I have always enjoyed working with her and I hope it is something I can do in the future."
Gary Ford
Managing Director, Men for Inclusion
"Baroness Verma played a pivotal role in sponsoring and supporting my event the UK’s first Conscious Leadership gathering, convening senior leaders from across industries to explore culture transformation, high performance, and the power of diverse perspectives. Her ability to bring together voices that challenge and inspire creates a truly impactful dialogue that resonates deeply with an audience. As a female founder, I have personally benefited from her unwavering support and encouragement, which has been both meaningful and empowering. Her contributions to panel discussions consistently stir the audience, provokes thoughtful reflection and creates energising conversations that extend well beyond the room."
