Crunch time: A business woman speaks

Health insurance from Aviva has invited HR managers from around the country to dinner and an evening’s entertainment with highly acclaimed journalist and businesswoman Mrs. Moneypenny.

Mrs. Moneypenny is a former investment banker and has an MBA from the London Business School and a PhD from the University of Hong Kong. But really, she writes a weekly column in the Financial Times Weekend Magazine.

She is coming over to Dublin to talk to HR managers at an event hosted by Aviva, 'Crunchtime: A Businesswoman Speaks',

She is a visiting professor at Cass, City University Business School, and a trustee of a major educational charity. She is married to a wine merchant who plays a lot of golf, and has three children who she refers to as the Cost Centres.

Mrs. M began writing for the Financial Times in 1999 while still based in Tokyo. Subsequently, she returned to the UK and bought into a small but profitable business in the West End of London, where she was the youngest and worst-groomed of four owner-directors. She later led a management buyout and is now the majority owner.

She is the author of Mrs. Moneypenny: Survival in the City (2003), Mrs. Moneypenny: Email from Tokyo, (2006) and Mrs. Moneypenny: Crunchtime (2209).
