You can have a real impact and your experience will be welcomed. Anyone that is thinking about it, please do let me persuade you to do it!”Gustafsson oversaw a period of gargantuan growth during her time at the helm of Darktrace, helping take the business from little-known start-up to one of the most UK’s feted tech success stories. The firm listed on the London Stock Exchange to great fanfare in 2021. But it only lasted two years as a public company, before it was bought in a take private deal that remains one of the London bourse’s darkest episodes.Starmer’s appointment of Gustafsson was seen by many in the City as a major coup, bolstering The Treasury was approached for comment.More to follow </div>
