Lucy Czakan

Co-Founder, CEO

Coach, facilitator and founder of her own leadership development company, Lucy has empowered countless senior executives to drive meaningful and sustainable change in both their personal lives and businesses. Prior to this, she spent over a decade as a leader in Unilever and Quorn foods, which taught her the value of purpose-led brands and creating dynamic aligned cultures.

She believes that authentic leadership is the superpower that will enable organisations and society to create sustainable change. 

Having spent over two decades focused on transforming senior leaders, Lucy recognised the pressing need to cultivate leadership skills in the next generation. Hence, Holos Leadership Foundation was born. Her vision centres around empowering the next generation of leaders to flourish, enabling them to work collaboratively with senior leaders to build a stronger foundation for organisations and pave the way towards a more sustainable future.

  • "Neil is an experienced professional who challenges in an insightful, thought provoking way. His challenges are balanced – always delivered calmly – in a way that allows his experience to test your thinking. Never one to judge, he leaves you to come to a conclusion but you do so having considered the implications. The net result is; you make quality decisions with confidence."

  • "The combination of Lucy’s executive coaching skills together with her real-world experience makes her skillset invaluable to us.  Lucy has an innate ability to connect with members in our senior leadership team and has worked on a one-to-one level when individuals have needed to broaden their outlook to enable them to take on a wider role within the organisation. Her commerciality and perceptive questioning style resonates extremely well with those she has worked with."
