[2] Green spent her early career in the electronic components industry, working in Europe, the United States and Asia.
[6] Despite the deaths of Christianne and Robert Shepherd occurring in 2006 before she was appointed, Green announced in June 2015 that she was donating a third of her £5.7m Thomas Cook bonus, £1.9m, to a charity chosen by the parents of two children who died while on holiday.
The Group was highly criticised by the coroner in the 2015 inquest – which ruled the pair were unlawfully killed from carbon monoxide poisoning in Corfu in 2006 – for its treatment of the family, which included the period of Green's tenure.
[10] In October 2019, the Parliamentary Select Committee hearing and report had no negative input on her tenure as CEO and stated that Thomas Cook's recovery may have continued had she been allowed to complete the transformation she started.
[23] Since 2015, Green has sat on the Kings Business School Advisory Board,[24] and in 2020 was named executive chair of Mission Beyond.
She is a devotee of hatha yoga and reads several books a week, claiming that indulging in literature delivers an escape and relaxation away from business.
In February 2013, she was assessed as one of the 100 most powerful women in the United Kingdom by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.
