Maxine Hulme QPM, Ex Metropolitan Police and now inspirational speaker

Serving as one of the Metropolitan Police Service’s most senior officers, Maxine Hulme QPM rose through the ranks of one of the most highly pressured working environments that exists, and in doing so was awarded the QPM for her services to policing. From leading one of the most historically significant change programmes to the policing service across London, to spearheading the largest counter-terrorism exercise the UK has seen, she is well-placed to discuss such topics as the role of the Board in fighting crime, emerging threats, insider threats, building resilience and ransomware.
