Biography

Enoch is an expert on leadership, resilience, and well-being in the workplace. At INSEAD, she programme directs, teaches, and consults in Executive Education Programmes, such as the INSEAD Coaching Certificate, Management Acceleration Programme, and various Company Specific Programmes. She is also the Co-Director of the INSEAD MBA’s Personal Leadership Development Programme. Her work aims to help leaders navigate conflicting demands in ambiguous contexts, and to uncover the group influences that affect the quality of their decisions, relationships, and accomplishments.

Enoch advises Boards and senior executives on organizational transitions and social impact strategies. She is the Founder of Bearapy, an award-winning social impact consulting & training company in China that has pioneered workplace mental health in Asia-Pacific, imprinting employee wellbeing in company culture against taboos and stigma. She has received multiple recognitions for her contributions in this field, including the United Nations China Social Impact Awards and Beijing government’s OTEC Community Hero. She now takes her experience with the “S” in ESGs in her work as a Non-Executive Director on Boards and global and regional Steering Committees to advocate country and organisational-level policy changes in workplace mental health.
