Ola Soneye

Ola Soneye brings a unique perspective to workplace wellbeing, drawing from both her extensive technology leadership background and her personal journey as an unpaid carer.

As Founder and Director of Work, Care and Thrive, Ola has dedicated herself since 2020 to transforming how organisations support their employees who juggle professional responsibilities with caring duties.

Understanding firsthand the challenges unpaid carers face – from 3am anxieties to workplace conversations they dread – Ola developed the innovative PAUSE Framework™, a research-backed methodology that empowers unpaid carers to prioritise their wellbeing. Through her transformational coaching and advocacy work, she helps both individuals and organisations create sustainable solutions that enable carers to flourish in all aspects of their lives.

Ola’s mission is clear: to help unpaid carers achieve balance between their professional ambitions, personal wellbeing, and caring responsibilities, while guiding employers to provide genuinely meaningful support that makes a real difference.
