Describe your day job
I run a diversified company involved in textiles, commodities, brands, financial services and consulting. I’m also involved in a number of charitable foundations, act as a strategic consultant to a number of organisations, and write a strategy & economics journal.
Biggest professional achievement
Impossible to answer, there are so many things in my career I feel grateful for.
If you weren’t in your current profession what would you be?
Perhaps a doctor, or a photographer, or maybe even a barrister! I would have ended up wherever destiny would have wielded her hand.
Who is your hero?
Anyone who has the courage to take a chance on themselves.
