Bio: Howard Krais co-founded True with partner Ann-Marie Blake in early 2023. True was set up with the principle of helping organisations take a people-centred approach to change. This means delivering change with employees rather than to them, recognising the power that comes from truly connected employees. Before True, Howard worked in senior global change, communications and engagement roles at businesses including NatWest, Eversheds, Ernst & Young, GSK and latterly Johnson Matthey. In recent years Howard has become known for his ground-breaking work focused on how organisations listen to their employees. Following the publication of four reports, this work culminated in the publication of a book entitled “Leading the Listening Organisation”, in December 2023. Howard’s impact on the communications world was recognised as he was awarded Fellowship of both the Institute for Internal Communications and the Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence in 2025. Howard is a speaker in demand at a range of global events and podcasts. He was also President of the UK chapter of International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) (2019-21), and Chairman of Wealdstone Football Club (2007-16).
