Intergen Lead

Deborah Gale

Deb is a gerontologist researcher. Her focus is on how to optimize our 21st century gift of extended lives. At present, a pervasive poverty of low expectations surrounds ageing. We have a unique opportunity to make choices about how we want to live these longer lives.. She believes we can puncture this inertia and overhaul the decision making process during the midlife transition. This goes hand in hand with fully acknowledging our intergenerational co-dependencies and building upon them. Deb is on deck to to bring Encore Fellows UK to life as Intergen Lead. She is also the Intergen Design Leader for The Age of No Retirement, an affiliate director for the Global Institute for Experienced Entrepreneurship, a research fellow for the Bio Centre on Ethics and the UK lead for a UN task force on women in tech.

Co-Founder & CEO

Julia Randell-Khan

Co-founder and CEO, Julia Randell-Khan, is an enthusiastic encore career advocate.  Finding no road map for her own transition from a long-term career in the legal field into the next phase of life, Julia decided to create one. She set up a forum, Women in Transition, for women at 50+ to share transition experiences and explore new opportunities. Her interest in later life transition led Julia to Encore.org, the leading non-profit in the encore movement, and their tremendous resources for encore careers. She is now a Senior Fellow with Encore.org helping to build global and cross-cultural connections. She combines this with her fellowship at Stanford University’s Center on Longevity. Julia co-founded Encore Fellows UK to offer experienced workers at 50+ a pathway to encore careers in the social sector.

Chair

Andrew Scott

It outlines how longer lives mean longer working careers and a re-shaping of the life course. He believes that ideas shape the world around us but that talking is not enough and that we need to act urgently as social pioneers so that society can reap the amazing benefits that longevity can offer us an an individual and social level. Through Encore Fellows he thinks companies can take an important first step in helping us adjust and make the most of longer lives.
