RGU Talk, the popular official podcast of Robert Gordon University (RGU), is gearing up for a special episode this week with one of the North-east’s top businesswomen.
Edel Harris, chief executive of Cornerstone for the past decade, will join the show for an interview on Thursday 17 May, after the university awarded her an honorary doctorate to celebrate International Women’s Day earlier this year.
Speaking on the award, Edel said: “I was surprised and genuinely humbled that my name should even appear in a conversation about who should receive such an award on International Women’s Day, but I was absolutely delighted.
“I would not have been here if not for all the amazing women in my life who have given me the confidence to realise my ambitions and in particular my female colleagues at Cornerstone.”
The interview with RGU Talk will cover a range of topics including Edel’s significant experience as a female leader and role model, her hopes for the future, and advice she would give to young aspiring women.
RGU Talk is a fortnightly podcast sharing stories from across RGU’s community of staff, students and alumni. It is available for free on iTunes, Soundcloud and YouTube.
