Nellie Wartoft

As a teenager, Nellie Wartoft couldn’t understand why she was learning about the periodic table and the Tudor kings but not how credit works. A decade on, and she thought adult skills programmes were equally flawed. With Tigerhall, she wants to tap into the US$370 billion that gets spent upskilling employees annually, with a programme formulated by a network of more than 700 business leaders that develops leadership capabilities and drives innovative thinking.
