Geraldine Evans, COO and Co-Founder of Prosperity 24/7 has achieved the Institute of Directors’ flagship qualification and is now recognised as a Chartered Director.
The Institute of Directors (IoD) programme consists of three stages that lead to chartered status – Certificate in Company Direction which includes four modules and exams; Diploma in Company Direction which is an intensive three-day course and exam; and the final stage is obtained after submitting a summary of experience and passing an interview and assessment.
Highly regarded as a leader in learning and development, Geraldine (pictured) has also been nominated for this year’s Jersey TechAwards in the leadership category. Her IoD qualification further cements her senior leadership skills within Jersey’s technology sector.
She has been instrumental in introducing the first gender pay gap report for the sector, encouraging transparency and fairness for an industry where roles tend to be pre-dominantly male. She has also been a driving force behind Prosperity 24/7’s ISO27001 certification which is the global information security management system (ISMS) standard for providing a structured approach to safeguarding data and managing information security effectively.
Geraldine said, of her achievement: “As a life long learner and someone who is passionate about continued learning and development, this has been such a worthwhile journey for me as a company director and I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their knowledge.
“Thanks to all my colleagues at Prosperity 24/7 who supported me along the way and to all the IoD students and trainers I learned so much from.”
Chris Clark, Prosperity 24/7’s CEO and Co-Founder said: “Achieving the IoD’s flagship qualification is no mean feat. It is an endorsement of Geraldine’s professionalism and knowledge of corporate governance best practice. This is fantastic recognition for the strategic leadership that Geraldine demonstrates everyday in our business. She has worked diligently through every stage of the process and it is wonderful to see her achieve this rightful deserved recognition.”
