Laura Empson | Speaker Biography

Laura Empson is a Professor in the Management of Professional Service Firms at Bayes Business School, University of London, and Director of the Centre for Professional Service Firms. With 30 years of research funded by prestigious government awards, her work focuses on leadership, governance, organisational change, mergers, professional careers, diversity, partner evaluation, and the future of professional work.

Laura aims to translate her academic findings for practitioners. In addition to her role at Bayes, she holds Research Fellowships at Harvard Law School and the University of Cambridge's Judge Business School. She advises leading professional organisations and is a non-executive director and governmental advisor.

Since 2007, Laura has been a Professor at Bayes, developing a strong interest in professional organisations. Her initial move into academia stemmed from her experiences as an investment banker and strategy consultant, where she encountered poor leadership. This motivated her to explore why capable individuals often make unwise decisions.

After three decades of research, Laura remains intrigued by professional organisations, which often defy conventional management and leadership principles and thrive in complexity and ambiguity. She is dedicated to applying insights from her research to help these organisations and their employees tackle significant challenges.
