#431 Emma Case
Emma is the founder of Women Beyond the Box a London-based online and in real-life community for smart women who also happen to be Neurodivergent. Emma also happens to be neurodivergent herself having ADHD and Dypraxia. For many years she worked in the fashion industry at a senior level on creative teams including Burberry but five years ago she boldly transitioned to entrepreneurship.
She is a pioneering advocate for Neurodiversity because she understands that true inclusion is about acknowledging and accepting intersectionality. With Women Beyond the Box, she is on a mission to disrupt the current out-dated narrative around Neurodiversity and to engage in fresh conversation with a wider audience.
Emma is a fantastic representative and role model for the neurodivergent community because she has transformed her life and career simply by playing to her strengths rather than being set back by any challenges.
Now companies hire Emma to facilitate women’s leadership programs, to speak on panels and coach women who, like her four years ago, are desperately seeking a way of working that doesn’t compromise who they truly are. She is a real inspiration to the next generation of Neurodivergent women.
