Helen Cannon is the founder and CEO of ISON Group, one of Europe’s fastest-growing travel management businesses. She founded ISON in 2013 after experiencing how traditional corporate structures excluded talented professionals seeking flexibility. Determined not to compromise her ambition or family life, she built a different model, one based on autonomy, trust and measurable performance. Cannon, who has grown it to 130 staff and £68.2m, has five children, three cats and three dogs.
