56: Colleen Amos OBE and Baroness Valerie Amos – Pioneering sisters: how to challenge your environment

Colleen is the CEO of the Amos Bursary, founding the charity due to her passion for education and tackling underachievement. Through her expert skills of bringing together elite universities and leading international firms, providing internships and personal development programmes, she has transformed the live of countless young men to secure professional careers by developing them into the UK’s future leaders.   Baroness Amos, now a patron of the charity she co-founded, has been widely recognised as one of the world’s great humanitarians. Whether as UN-Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, in the Cabinet as a member of the House of Lords, or any of a countless list of non-governmental international development, charitable and educational roles – including as the first black woman to lead a British university as director of SOAS – Baroness Amos has been a pioneer for equality everywhere.
