ABOUT CHELSEA COATES
I\'m a CPO with 15+ years building people functions in high-growth tech, and I genuinely love the work. I grew up in L&D, which means I think differently about culture, leadership, and how organisations actually change. At GWI I\'ve scaled a People & Culture function through significant growth, partnering closely with the exec team at every stage.
