How to manage a portfolio career with Michelle de Klerk, Founder & Director of The Women’s Chapter

In today’s episode we’re joined by the brilliant Michelle Pughe-Parry de Klerk, Founder of The Women’s Chapter, the UK’s first network for women in business to achieve B Corp certification.

Michelle’s journey is an extraordinary example of how a passion project, started on a shoestring as a side hustle, can evolve into a thriving, impact-led portfolio career. After years working across journalism, financial services, commodities, marketing and luxury brand consultancy, and after attending countless uninspiring networking events, she set out to build something different: a curated, inclusive, cross-sector community where women can connect meaningfully, collaborate and genuinely support one another.

Since launching in 2014, The Women’s Chapter has reached more than 30,000 women through events, thought leadership, membership and pro bono initiatives. Michelle also champions women and girls beyond the community through her work as an ambassador for The King’s Trust Women Supporting Women, a UN Women UK delegate and a council member for Founders4Schools and Maths4Girls.
