Women of the Year meets… Bonnie Garmus
16th March 2025 by Vix Brenninkmeijer
We started our 2025 Alumnae programme with the best-selling author of Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie Garmus. Bonnie was in conversation with Executive Coach, NED and Business Advisor, Rachel Reavley and RSM hosted us at their offices in Farringdon for Vix Brenninkmeijer’s first event as Chair.
To quote one of our guests: “a totally fantastic interlude with the incredible Bonnie – she comes across as such an honest, open, decent and grounded lady that I feel like I was chatting in a bar with her and known her all my life.”
