Director of Group Safety & Insurance

Crystal Danbury

I have 1 aim; make the world a better place to work. I believe diversity, empathy, humility and curiosity are vital components to improving the businesses I serve and I inspire these values in my teams and organisations. ‘How can we do this better/simpler/less/quicker/with less impact/ethically, do we need to do this at all, have we asked the end user what he/she/they think, what does excellent look like and how can we innovate’ are always questions I drive. Having started as a safety engineer in the nuclear industry nearly 2 decade ago I love to demonstrate, without over egging, time with your frontline is priceless and I role model that success is not gender specific. I run large teams, manage multimillion pound budgets in FTSE 100 businesses. My job is to look after and create a safe space for people, manage risk, change culture and overall change the world slowly.
