Julie Tague is Director of Savings and Improvement at the UK House of Commons, where she leads programmes focused on financial sustainability, organisational performance, and delivery in one of the UK’s most high-profile institutions.
Julie has over 20 years’ experience working across the public sector, including senior leadership roles in the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Defence, DCMS and the DSIT. Her career has centred on leading large-scale people and change programmes in complex, high-pressure environments.
Across these roles, Julie has supported organisations and leaders to navigate ambiguity, reshape ways of working, and deliver change while maintaining trust and credibility. She is known for her practical, human approach to leadership and for helping teams adapt and perform when the stakes are high and the path isn’t straightforward.
Laura is the Head of Economic Crime at Clue Software, bringing over 20 years of expertise in counter fraud and economic crime to support organisations in strengthening their fraud risk assessments and implementing best practices.
With extensive tactical and strategic experience, Laura plays a critical role in shaping Clue’s future development, particularly in economic crime. Prior to joining Clue, Laura spent a decade at the Cabinet Office, where she served as Deputy Director at the Public Sector Fraud Authority, helping to shape UK government policies on fraud prevention, professionalisation and insider threats, and prior to this led fraud and financial investigations within the Ministry of Justice.
