OUR ESTEEMED PANEL:
Klaus Goeldenbot | Chief Executive Officer | NED | TRUSTEE
Former Chief Executive Officer of Nisbets and President of RS Components, Klaus has extensive global management and business transformation experience. Throughout his career Klaus Goeldenbot has delivered exceptional business results, achieved profitable growth, built high-performing, multi-disciplinary teams and ensured that businesses are future proofed. In his most recent role as Nisbets’ Group Chief Executive Officer (09/17-05/20), Europe’s largest B2B supplier of catering equipment, Klaus oversaw a global team of over 2,000 employees, a portfolio of over 25,000 products and a turnover of more than £400 Million worldwide. Business transformation was the key focus for Klaus at Nisbets: Building a clear long term business strategy for the UK and international markets, establishing a high performing senior management team across the group, building market leading digital leadership capabilities and creating a company culture where delivering outstanding customer experience is key and evidenced in market leading Net Promoter scores were some of Klaus’ main achievements at Nisbets. Plus the establishment of more resilient core processes and disciplines (such as process re-engineering and simplification, pricing, etc.) which will benefit the business as it comes out of the current Corona Virus Crisis. Klaus is widely recognised as having been at the forefront of true business transformation across a multitude of sectors. As part of the Electrocomponents plc Group Executive Committee he drove strategies to take a former catalogue business into market leadership as a digital B2B player. Klaus is highly motivated by the need for change, and has experience of creating and mobilising large teams to deliver business strategy across multiple geographies. Complexity and high stakes have characterised the challenges he and his teams have faced, and he relishes taking a leading in these circumstances. Klaus has been at the vanguard of key initiatives ranging from the emergence of digital and use of big data through to customer experience, brand management, continuous improvement and preventative maintenance. Klaus is passionate about nurturing his teams, enabling both personal and business growth and is always striving for excellence
Tracey Halsey | Head of Executive Support Newton Europe
Tracey is currently Head of Executive Support at Newton Europe where she’s been working for 5 years and leads a growing team of 40 Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants.

Lisa Glowacki | Personal Assistant to Chief Executive
Lisa has worked with Aileen Evans, GCE, for just over 2 years and has been learning and developing her skills since her first role as a Secretarial Assistant in 1995. Lisa’s career initially started in the Education sector and spanned 20 years at The Open University. After taking redundancy in 2016 and covering a FTC maternity leave in the Housing Sector the desire to get back into Housing led her to Grand Union. Networking has been a very important part of Lisa’s development journey, initially mostly in house in person events and attending the annual PA Show. As technology developed, the power of social media channels, the benefits of COVID and events moving online led Lisa to taking part in BBO Networking Events, which in the past due to work and family commitments had been difficult to attend. Lisa said that she has really benefited from taking a step out of her comfort zone, meeting others and taking part in BBO events. The online events have helped her to understand and develop a new perspective in some subjects and reinforced, that with support, we can all overcome the challenges of a demanding EPA/PA/EA role.
