• Bronwen Maddox

  Director of the Institute for Government

  Bronwen Maddox is the Director of the Institute for Government, the charitable body which aims to improve the effectiveness of the government. Previously she served for over five years as the Editor and CEO of the influential current affairs and culture magazine, Prospect.
  
  US-born Bronwen was originally an investment analyst both in the city and on Wall Street, and a director of Kleinwort Benson Securities' media team. She moved into journalism to head up a Financial Times investigation into Robert Maxwell. She then joined The Times, becoming the Washington Bureau Chief, then US Editor, and finally Chief Foreign Commentatator and Foreign Editor. She remains a regular FT, Evening Standard, and Times contributor.

  With access to some of the key figures across business, politics and leadership around the world, Bronwen has founded a reputation for informed, original insight. She has interviewed figures from Jimmy Carter to Vladamir Putin.
  
  As author of the acclaimed book In Defense of America, Bronwen is also perfectly positioned to analyse the global impact of events on Capital Hill.

• Linda Moir

  Linda Moir was in charge of the front-line Events Services at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games. She was responsible for planning and implementing a customer-service strategy, organising 15,000 volunteer Games Makers plus private sector contractors, and facilities to welcome over nine millions spectators. 

  London 2012 was the first Games to view ticket-holders as customers- previously they'd been viewed as secondary to the sports. As a result, London 2012 is widely regarded as the most succesful and best-run Olympics in the modern era.

  Before the Games, Linda was Virgin Atlantic's Director of Customer Service. In her time Virgin became leaders in customer satisfaction, topping surveys and winning numerous awards. Combining customer satisfaction and HR, Linda overhauled recruitment, training and development programmes for 5000 Virgin cabin crew to meet her goals.
  
  Prior to Virgin, Linda was HR director for the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) during its transition from public to private ownership. She joined NATS after working for BA where she was involved in transforming the business from its introspective, state-backed roots to a modern, customer-centered brand.
