Ashlee founded Women in Maritime, a women’s networking group in the Maritime and Trade business line at S&P Global. Under Ashlee’s leadership, IHS Markit (now S&P Global) was the seventh company to gain Charter certification by Maritime UK for efforts to address gender fairness, equality, and inclusion within the maritime sector. The company actively achieved a 50/50 gender split through its Early Careers program for the Maritime & Trade business for the past three years, and Ashlee’s team comprised of 40% women in 2021. Additionally, Ashlee is a global board representative of WINS Global (Women’s initiative for networking and success) at S&P Global, responsible for communication strategies, raising awareness, ensuring the value of diversity in the workplace is understood and communication is inclusive. Externally, Ashlee is a volunteer and mentor for the ‘Y’s Girls program’, an early and effective mentoring initiative in East Surrey for girls aged 9-14 years.
