Just six months after joining BAE Systems, Dawn became Co-Chair of the company’s Gender Equity Network, a voluntary Employee Resource Group dedicated to providing an equity of opportunity to all genders. Her commitment to empowering women in the workplace saw her take the lead in forming a brand partnership with Women in Data, an organisation whose mission is to increase diversity in data careers. Dawn continues to be a role model, whether organising and co-hosting BAE Systems International Women’s Day conference at Bletchley Park, reviewing company policies such as maternity, fertility and menopause, or promoting data literacy across the analysis and architecture communities. She has also facilitated critical conversations & provided support for those seeking guidance on gender equity issues. Out with BAE Systems, she’s also a trustee with Epilepsy Scotland, is an active member of Bolton Deaf Club and even donated 16” of hair to The Little Princess Trust.
