Women in Consulting: In conversation with Roxanne D'Souza

"What really excited me when I discovered Baringa was the culture, and being encouraged to bring your true self to work." That's Roxanne D'Souza , Partner at Baringa, on what changed her mind about a career she'd once found herself pulling away from, in the latest instalment of the InX Women in Consulting series. Roxanne talks to Amber Chapman , Associate Partner, Human Capital at InX about realising that selling didn't have to look the way she'd assumed it did. Once she stopped trying to fit a mould, she found her own approach to business development, one built on relationships and genuine interest in a client's problem, rather than a script that never suited her. The InX Women in Consulting series explores the hidden rules, double standards and structural barriers shaping the careers of senior women in the industry.

Women in Consulting: In conversation with Amanda Khalaf

"The ability to set boundaries was the absolute game changer for me." Amanda Khalaf, Partner at a boutique consultancy, shares her advice in the latest instalment of the InX Women in Consulting series. She explains what actually shifts on the path to Partner: not just the technical delivery that gets you noticed early on, but the resilience, sponsorship and self-belief that carry you the rest of the way. Amanda is candid about a period in her career when ambition tipped into overcommitment, and what changed when she started treating "no" as a prioritisation conversation rather than a refusal. The conversation also turns to how she uses AI and other tools day to day — not to take on more work, but to create the thinking time that sponsorship and relationship-building actually require. The InX Women in Consulting series explores the hidden rules, double standards and structural barriers shaping the careers of senior women in the industry.

Women in Consulting: In conversation with Nicole Mikschofsky

"If you just stay in delivery, you're creating a career path that's delivery-centric." That's how Nicole Mikschofsky, Managing Director at EOS Deal Advisory, describes the trap she deliberately avoided on her way to partner — and it's the theme running through the first conversation of the InX Women in Consulting series. Nicole talks to Rishi DuSodha about the moment she realised that being a well-respected delivery partner wasn't enough on its own. Building a personal brand, winning new clients and thinking about sales had to sit alongside the technical work, not after it. The InX Women in Consulting series explores the hidden rules, double standards and structural barriers shaping the careers of senior women in the industry.
