What is The Pryde Foundation?

From ambitious founders and rising managers to experienced senior leaders, The Pryde Foundation helps people at every stage of their leadership journey build the confidence, skills and networks they need to thrive.

Emmie Runciman (née Pryde) is a qualified Executive Coach, public speaker, and CEO of 21 years — she built her own successful healthcare administration business from scratch. She's equally at home coaching senior leaders and CEOs as she is mentoring young entrepreneurs just starting out.

In 2023, Emmie founded The Pryde Foundation to give others the support she wished she'd had, when starting out. The Pryde Foundation takes shape in two forms, Emmie as a public speaker and Emmie as a coach and mentor.
