An Engineer with more than 26 years of experience in innovation and product design across Telecoms and Financial Services — and 22 of those years spent in senior leadership roles — Yolande brings a rare blend of strategic insight, creative problem‑solving, and grounded executive presence.

She has led teams through complex transformation, navigated high‑stakes environments, and built a career on understanding how people, systems, and ideas move together.

Alongside her corporate journey runs a lifelong devotion to horses. An equestrian since birth, Yolande has competed actively in Showjumping, Dressage, and Endurance Riding, developing a deep respect for the sensitivity, honesty, and intuitive communication that horses demand.

Her pursuit of mastery has taken her far beyond the familiar: advanced dressage training in Spain, and the extraordinary challenge of riding the Mongol Derby in Mongolia, the world’s longest and toughest horse race.
