Cornelia attended her graduation on Friday 1 November 2024 at Hult Ashridge in Hertfordshire.
Cornelia commented on the occasion; "I appreciate the opportunity provided by the Trust to support my personal development. It was a challenging experience juggling my responsibilities as a senior manager while studying for a MSc in Executive Leadership and Management. However, with resilience and perseverance, and those who encouraged me, I was able to successfully complete the programme. I can say I feel proud to be a member of Chartered Management Institute."
