From a mentoring perspective, he has been a mentor to the CEO of Fareshare for about 10 years, mentors one young person a year, and has participated in the WIG programme. He believes that mentoring can be one of the most powerful tools to help mid to senior executives who have the confidence to want to decide their own style of leadership but where open constructive conversations can provide a space for learning and exploration.
