As Founding Director of Lake Advisory, Dr Henrietta Lake transforms how leaders perceive and harness human capital in supply chains - seeing workers not as a risk to be mitigated, but as people creating value.

Supply chain work can feel complex, and misconceptions often blur real risks and opportunities. Henrietta helps leaders cut through the complexity, build and deliver the strategic plan - turning intent into action and results. Henrietta helps organisations reframe human capital in supply chains so they can move from risk management and compliance to value creation and performance, challenging assumptions, and translating insight into practical strategies that get delivered through a network of in-country partners.

Her career has been shaped through work with some of the world's most influential brands where she built social sustainability architecture that strengthened supplier capability and raised expectations and outcomes for labour standards. Now as Founder of Lake Advisory, Henri is a system-level architect, partnering with senior leaders at critical inflection points. Designing how organisations lead, align, and unlock progress under pressure.

Henri holds a Master’s and PhD in labour economics from The Fletcher School, USA and a BA (Hons), MA (Oxon) from Oxford University.
