Gooding now pursues a portfolio of interests as an executive coach and non-executive chair of agency Given and the Publishers Audience Measurement Company (PAMCo). She is on the CMI Race Equity Committee, the advisory board of Utopia and is the former chair of LGBTQ+ rights charity Stonewall. She is a regular columnist for Mediatel and an Honorary Fellow of the Marketing Society.

The other honourees were Rosie Arnold, Patrick Collister, Tony Cullingham, Magnus Djaba and Mel Edwards.
