The Leading Edge: Ethical Leadership and Inspiring Achievements

The Leading Edge speaker series at the University of Exeter Business School is an established platform that brings together students, apprentices, alumni, and business professionals to explore what it means to lead with purpose.

This series has brought varied and thought provoking speakers to the Business School, and we are pleased to continue those conversations into 2025/26.

Through engaging talks and conversations with influential leaders, The Leading Edge explores:

• Ethical and values-driven leadership
• Personal stories of resilience, innovation, and impact
• Fresh perspectives on navigating complex business environments
• Inspiration to help us re-think some of our biggest global challenges

Whether you're just starting out or already making your mark, this is your opportunity to hear from people who’ve led with integrity, challenged the status quo, and carved out meaningful careers.

Join us to be inspired, ask questions, and connect with a community of learners and leaders who are passionate about making a difference.
