Shackleton, who is the granddaughter of early 20th Century polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, is also a prominent advocate for polar heritage and exploration. She is also life president of the James Caird Society and vice patron of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust. McGloin is a racing driver, Guinness World Record holder, international speaker and disability advocate. She is the world's first female tetraplegic competitive racing driver.

McGloin has been a Shackleton client for more than 15 years. 

“Alexandra represents a direct connection to the extraordinary leadership legacy of Sir Ernest Shackleton and has devoted her life to ensuring those lessons remain relevant in today's world,” Paul Feeney, CEO of Shackleton, said. “Nathalie's story is one of determination, courage and resilience in the face of adversity, qualities that resonate deeply with our colleagues, advisors and clients.”
