Kerry Round is the Founding Director of Round Governance Services, a specialist advisory practice focused on board and committee effectiveness, governance reviews, and strategic alignment at the top of organisations.
With extensive experience supporting listed companies, financial services firms, and not-for-profit organisations, Kerry works closely with Chairs, Boards, and senior leaders to strengthen governance frameworks and enable high-quality decision-making. Her client portfolio has included organisations such as Ocado Group plc, Direct Line Group, Watches of Switzerland Group, Foresight Group, the RNLI, and the Diocese of Lincoln.
Kerry is particularly recognised for her pragmatic, insight-led approach to governance—helping boards move beyond compliance to ensure their structures, behaviours, and processes are aligned with strategy and purpose. She has led numerous board effectiveness reviews and governance transformations, often supporting organisations through periods of significant change.
Alongside her advisory work, Kerry is a strong advocate for inclusive leadership and sustainable career pathways, bringing a thoughtful and human perspective to boardroom dynamics.
