Mary Goudie
Mary Teresa Goudie, Baroness Goudie (born 2 September, 1946) is a Labour member of House of Lords. According to the Scotsman which named her as 13th most poweful woman in Scotland in 2004, 'Baroness Mary Goudie is one of Scottish Labour’s most prolific and accomplished networkers. The life peer was a close friend of the late Donald Dewar, and she is close to Gordon Brown and Wendy Alexander. However, her friendship with leading lights in the Brown camp has not stopped her from forming close links with both Tony and Cherie Blair. Baroness Goudie is the founder of the exclusive Aeolus networking dinner club.'[1]
