thelongevityforum.com/ As founder and CEO of Encore Fellows UK, Julia is an enthusiastic encore career advocate. Finding no road map for her own transition from a long-term career in the legal field (at Norton Rose Fulbright and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer), Julia decided to create one. This led Julia to Stanford University’s Distinguished Careers Institute combined with a role at Encore.org, the leading non-profit in the encore movement, which taps the skills and experience of those in midlife and beyond for social change. At Encore.org Julia works on building global and cross-cultural connections. This includes leading the Encore Fellows UK programme which draws on the successful US scheme to offer experienced talent an opportunity to work on a paid, high impact assignment as part of purposeful transition to retirement. Julia combines this with her on-going fellowship at Stanford University’s Center on Longevity working on the New Map of Life project. Julia is an active mentor and works closely with Fair Trials, a specialist human rights NGO. She also set up a network, Women in Transition, to support growth and development from change as senior women transition from long term careers to new opportunities in the next phase of life.
