Beyond Governance is a multi award-winning full service consultancy. We collaborate with the c-suite, chairs, board, and investors to enhance stakeholder and shareholder confidence by unlocking value.
Erika Eliasson-Norris is transforming the world of governance. As CEO of Beyond Governance, she’s spearheading a bold mission to make governance accessible, practical, and genuinely impactful for organisations across the UK, the US, and beyond. Oh, and she’s also the Governance Assessor for the Post Office Horizon IT Public Inquiry–the largest public inquiry in UK history. No pressure.
Before founding Beyond Governance in 2019, Erika spent over 15 years at the coalface of governance. From advising FTSE-listed boardrooms at Low & Bonar, InterContinental Hotels Group, Premier Foods, and KPMG, she gained a deep understanding of what works (and what doesn’t). At just32, she became the youngest executive in the industry to take on the role of Boardroom advisor at a FTSE 250 company. Smashing glass ceilings? Tick.
Beyond Governance isn’t your typical consultancy. Under Erika’s leadership, it’s become a force for positive change, that is redefining how organisations are creating sustainable value–with governance at the heart. Erika’s got a simple belief: good governance is the engine of long-term, sustainable value. And she’s got the track record to back it up. Whether it’s steering M&A deals, navigating IPOs, driving digital transformation, or shaping long-term strategy, she knows governance is what makes it all work.
In 2022, Erika was named “Governance Professional of the Year” by the Chartered Governance Institute, but for her, it’s not about awards–it’s about making governance matter.
Erika is on a mission to make governance real. She’s passionate about debunking myths around C-suite practices and ensuring governance is more than a ‘tick-box’ exercise. Instead, she sees it as a driver of transparency, accountability, and progress. She’s also dedicated to inspiring the next generation–to see governance as a career where they can thrive.
When she’s not revolutionising governance, Erika is a devoted mum to her twin daughters, planning her next road trip, or indulging her passion for fast cars. Plus, she rides motorbikes. Based in North-West London, she’s building a career–and a movement–that spans the Atlantic.
Erika is a true force of nature.
