Harriet Warr

I was fortunate to land a role in treasury immediately after graduating from University. I joined the Corporate Treasury team at Heathrow Airport when it was going through a large refinancing and securitisation project which meant I was in at the deep end right from the beginning. It was here I studied for my ACT qualifications. I then joined National Grid and have just celebrated my 10-year anniversary at the company. Although I have spent most of my career working in the funding and derivatives aspect of treasury, I have also focussed on core risk and operations. What do you like about working in treasury? Treasury is so fundamental to any business which allows you to see the direct impact of your own work, and it is very satisfying to know you are making a difference. What would you like to achieve during your tenure on Council? During the pandemic over the past two years, I have found personal development has easily slipped to the bottom of my priority list, and I wonder how many other treasurers feel the same. So I am hoping to reignite the importance of personal development for others, not just for myself, and the ACT is a perfect place to start. Why should members get involved with the ACT? The ACT can offer so much. There is endless learning available, and on top of that there is such a broad range of people that you can meet in treasury across all industries. The networking can be endless. What three words describe you? Honest, approachable and diligent. What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given. Be patient, and always take time to take a step back. Instant reactions are often not thought through, and whatever the situation whether you take 5 mins, a day or a week, it can make a difference. Please tell us something interesting about yourself. I had a talent for gymnastics when I was younger, and not only did it help teach me to be disciplined, resilient and a team player but I was also lucky to be able to travel around Europe and America at such a young age.
