Emma Harrison is a British businesswoman, best known for her work as the former chairman of the UK government’s Work Programme. She was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1966. Her father was a farmer and her mother was a schoolteacher. She has two older sisters. Harrison was educated at a local primary school and then at Ripon Grammar School. She studied economics at the University of Manchester, graduating with a first-class degree in 1988.

After university, Harrison began her career as a management consultant with Andersen Consulting (now Accenture).
