Elisha is Softcat Plc’s Recruitment Manager and has worked for the FTSE 250 organisation within the tech space for 12 years. Born and raised in Manchester by a single working mum, with an innate and undeniable passion for people from day one, it was no big surprise when Lish ended up pursuing a career in People and Talent. In recent years, Lish’s passion for enabling others, specifically supporting and empowering other women in business, has skyrocketed. As a result, she has been recognised with the technology industry award for CRN Outstanding Returner, was named Recruitment Leader of the Year in 2024 by The Talent Labs and was asked to deliver Softcat’s keynote speech at the tech industry event - CRN Women in Technology Festival - titled ‘The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership’. Lish’s biggest love in life (outside of her tornado 4 year old, Max) is getting people excited about the things that she’s excited about, the main one of which is exploring the impact that strong and effective leadership and community can have on the enablement and empowerment of women in the workplace and supporting other women to realise their full potential.
