Label Sessions, the recently-launched platform that connects business leaders with advisors, has announced that Helen Page is joining as chair of the new business’ board.

Page’s 25-year careers spans marketing, innovation, consultancy, and customer experience.

She currently serves on a portfolio of boards in the UK including the Artisanal Spirits Company, which had its IPO in 2021.

Further, Page previously served as chief brand officer of Virgin Money UK, having joined what was at the time Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank Group in December 2021, and was part of the Executive Team to complete the IPO of the bank in 2016.

As well, Page had previously spent eight years at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in a number of roles, including managing director for marketing and innovation, and held responsibility for all UK brands across retail, commercial, and corporate divisions.

Page also served as a brand and marketing leader at Argos, and Abbey (now Santander).

Helen Page commented on the announcement:  “Label Sessions has a big mission and a lot of potential to grow into a company with huge impact. Everyone and every business needs advice, and the best advice comes from people who have walked the walk in leadership, not just read about best practice.

“I’m excited to formally take on this role, having worked with the founding team since the early days of the concept, and to put the structures in place to build Label Sessions into the global company it has the potential to be.”

“Label Sessions is a company built around a belief in the power of great advice,” says Label Sessions co-founder and MD, Nick Sherrard, “so we’ve always known that we would need that at the board table too.”

“We’re hugely excited that Helen is joining us as Chair,” he added. “She brings the experience and challenge we will need as we seek to grow our brand globally, and to ensure that our mission-led business can have the impact we want it to have over the coming year too.”

Label Session is currently attempting to expand a global roster of leaders from the worlds of business, design, and technology who sign to their Label.

The platform aims to connect these leaders to people who need advice, mentoring, or ideas, through providing online 1:1 conversations that they call Sessions.

Clients are already using the platform to get advice on new product ideas, and to reimagine their future strategies, as well as to get their team global perspectives on their careers and professional development.

All Sessions are recorded and transcribed meaning that users can go back to the advice afterwards. The Sessions team will even turn the output into podcasts, magazines, or more traditional presentations if the user wants to share what they discovered with their team.

With their team spread between Toronto and Edinburgh, Label Sessions is working with clients across the UK, US, Canada, and Europe.
