Banking chief Alison Rose wants to be a role model for women and an agitator.

The first female boss of NatWest is a role model and an agitator, trying to get more women into business and into top posts.

One in six women entrepreneurs had to take time away for caring roles, versus one in 10 for men.a wide-ranging interview this week"We're not at parity, we're not at equality, but we are seeing more focus.
