My absolute favourite thing about my job is finding and hiring great people then seeing them fly in a new role… There’s nothing more motivating than watching talented people grow and go on do things they never thought possible. It’s the best.

My friends, we have been through a lot together these last few years, but I’m asking you to join me on one more adventure… Becoming a dad. Becki and I are over the moon to share that we’re having a baby boy in December ❤️

Thank you all for the lovely messages, a little bit overwhelmed to be honest… We have had quite the year, but we’re only in this position because of the most amazing support from friends and family. Thank you and don’t go anywhere, cos we’re gonna need you for the next bit ❤️

The boss of the house out on patrol... Shelby has been so sweet the last few weeks, somehow she knew about the baby before we told any actual humans 😍

My favourite Olympics story so far is that of Chilean-Chinese table tennis player Zhiying Zeng… Loved the game as a kid, but moved to Chile and only later picked it back up in her 50s during the pandemic. Just made her Olympic debut at 58 🤩

My favourite part of a summer’s day… Waiting for the sun to dip behind the end of the garden and watering the plants with my glamorous assistant 🥰

Build the culture you want to work in… We will never EVER own an office. It’s a waste of money. Our team are far more effective and happy working remotely. We will always support flexibility. Whether that’s a shorter week or flex across days. Remote, flexible work for all.

That’s me, the girlfriend and the bump on holiday for the next ten days… Time to rest and process the last few weeks. Grateful, happy. My heart is full, but my goodness it’s been a lot ❤️

Life moment! I felt our baby kicking for the first time and my heart just wasn’t ready for it… ❤️ The thought of him growing up in a world heading in the direction we are is terrifying though. His generation deserves a world much more just and tolerant than it is right now.

Interviewing over the next few weeks and will be sharing questions with all candidates beforehand again… We’ve found doing this leads to a better experience and more rewarding conversations for both candidates and us. Would love to see more employers take this approach too.

One change I’d like to see introduced is term limits for all senior leaders… We do it for Presidents and Prime Ministers, so why not Directors and Chief Execs? If they’re still the right person after the 4-5 year term, then they can reapply and prove it.

In what is a first for me, I was distracted on a work call by the cat snoring/purring SO LOUDLY I had to go check on her in the other room… It’s a tough life for some 😍
