Emily Dobson is the Neurodiversity Lead in People & Culture at Fujifilm Biotechnologies UK. She is passionate about fostering environments where neurodivergent people can thrive. Her interest in this area is both professional and personal, as she was diagnosed with ADHD at 30, which gave her a new perspective on how workplaces can unintentionally create barriers for neurodivergent employees.

Emily is committed to raising awareness and supporting neurodivergent employees and their line managers. She believes adjustments should be made within policies, systems and organisational culture, rather than solely on an individual basis. She is excited to be part of the panel to discuss how organisations can better support neurodivergent talent and remove barriers to inclusion.

Olga Veldhorst and Sabrina Webber co‑lead the Neurodiversity employee group at Elsevier. Their work is rooted in community: they create spaces where colleagues can connect, including informal coffee chats and community‑focused events, and they help people find practical support and resources.

They don’t do this work alone. The Neurodiversity community actively shapes priorities; shares lived experiences and helps identify barriers that need to be removed across the organisation. As neurodivergent individuals themselves, Olga and Sabrina bring lived experience and a strong commitment to making the workplace more inclusive. They partner with teams across Elsevier on improvements in hiring, workplace adjustments, accessibility, and manager support - always with the goal of creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
