Rosemary Lemon

Group Head of Reward

Rosemary Lemon started her career in the oil and gas industry at Texaco Ltd where she worked for eight years in the business within retail sales, marketing and strategic planning before joining their HR department in the reward area for five years.

Since then, Rosemary looked after the Remuneration Committee, executive remuneration, share schemes, pensions, benefits and international mobility for P&O Nedlloyd (container shipping and logistics), luxury retail (Burberry) and joined Hays from Legal & General (financial services) where she spent nearly seven years.

During this time, Rosemary was also privileged to sit on the Financial Reporting Lab set up by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) and commissioned by the department of Business Innovation & Skills (“BIS”) to look at how the Single Figure of Remuneration should be measured.

Outside of work Rosemary enjoys the theatre and, being a French graduate,  she spends as much time as possible in France!

Rosemary has also written a book titled ‘What’s your excuse for not getting your dream job?‘ in which she explores improving skills, trying new things, and switching careers.
