Tracy Fletcher | Chair | Smart Works Leeds

Tracy enjoyed a 20-year career in Financial Services, working in senior leadership roles, before launching her own banking recruitment business in 2008. Throughout her Career Tracy has been a huge advocate for women, having been both an active signatory of the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter and mentoring a number of new business owners and finance professionals.   

She joined Smart Works initially in 2019 as a volunteer coach and was appointed Chair in 2023. In the last two years the Charity has gone from strength to strength, last year helping over 1000 women in our region.

Following the sale of her recruitment business last year she is working on a number of consultancy assignments, giving herself some much-needed work life balance.

“I am so proud and privileged to have the opportunity to be the chair of Smart Works Leeds. I am excited for the future of the centre.”
