Suzanne Heywood
Suzanne Heywood grew up aboard the schooner Wavewalker during a decade-long global voyage begun in 1976, intended as a three-year journey.
Despite limited formal schooling, she taught herself through correspondence courses and earned a place at Oxford, later completing a PhD. She worked at the UK Treasury, where she met her husband Jeremy Heywood, and spent 17 years at McKinsey specialising in organisation design.
She has authored several books, including a biography of her husband, a short biography of his mother, the business book ReOrg, and her memoir Wavewalker.
