Episode Title: 🇬🇧Pioneering Women Transformed the Beautiful Game of Football🇬🇧

Today on Heads Talk, we are honoured to feature a remarkable and highly respected guest for the #HTSportsSeries. Through my research, I have been impressed by her achievements, especially during a time when women's football was not as popular or welcomed as it is today. She played a pivotal role in elevating the game to its current stature, truly a visionary and deservedly recognised for her 32-year contribution to the game. 

Kelly Simmons OBE, who recently took up the role of FA Director of Women’s Professional Game, has been pivotal in transforming professional women’s football in England. She masterminded the first FA Women’s Professional Game Strategy, which has driven the growth of the Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship, culminating in record-breaking sponsorship and media rights deals for women’s football.

Previously, as The FA Director of Development, she oversaw the implementation of a £200 million, four-year investment programme into children’s and grassroots football. Before that, Kelly developed the FA Women’s Talent Development Programme, establishing the England Youth Teams & female centres of excellence.

One of the compelling topics we discussed is the attendance of men at women's football games. I invite contributions in the comments on this question: As a man, have you attended a women's football game? What positive aspects did you notice that might not be as evident in men's games? This is a genuine inquiry.

Topics Covered:
◽️Kelly's Pioneering Career in the Beautiful Game
◽️Achievements in FA and Women's Football League
◽️Women's Football at the Turn of the 20th Century
◽️Smart Sponsorship, Branding, Investment and Funding
◽️Broadcasting, Media Outlets and Catering to the Diverse Audiences
◽️Impact of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 England Win
◽️Men's Game to Give Reparation Money to the Women's Game?
◽️WSL Shift after 2018
◽️Work with FIFA

Episode Title:-  🇩🇪 Masters of Batteries🇩🇪

We continue the #HTAutomotiveSeries on Heads Talk with Dr Dirk Abendroth CEO Customcells. This was yet another insightful conversation. One of Dr. Abendroth's fascination is how one bridges the gap between people and technology. There he introduces Human Engineering into the conversation, so watch out for that in the full episode.
 
What I liked about this episode was the forensic nature of Dr. Abendroth’s answers; and as a result I gained an understanding of Customcells modus operandi. 
 
Dr. Abendroth emphasised the futility of calling a brand premium if recycling solutions were not optimised. Thus, sustainability is at the heart of what they do and collaboration runs through the veins of Customcells. 

Some facts about Dr. Abendroth: Prior to Customsells, he worked in a number of automotive or aviation related companies to include being the Executive Vice President for ByTon, with responsibilities  for powertrain and autonomous driving. He was the CTO of Automotive at Continental and Head of Powertrain BMWi at the BMW Group. 

In his most recent past in July 2021, he joined serial founder Lukasz Gadowski's international technology holding company Team Global as the CTO. 

Topics Covered: Human Engineering, Lithium-ion battery technologies, Chemical Sites, R&D, Recycling Concepts, Engineer Gaps, Green Batteries, Innovation, Electrode Production, Autonomous Vehicles, Technology meets Emotions, Partnerships, Aerospace Sector, Maritime Industry.

Episode Title:- 🇺🇸Environmental Sustainability Index - Smarter, Safer and Sustainable🇺🇸

Follow the hashtag #HeadsTalk to be notified of news, episodes & guests.
 
In this week’s #HTAutomotiveSeries 2022 episode of  Heads Talk, I am joined by Evan Van Hook, Chief Sustainability Officer of Honeywell. We talked about the recent press release of the Environmental Sustainability Index. The index is the first quarterly indicator of key trends pertaining to global efforts in climate change mitigation and other sustainability initiatives.

A link to the full findings is in the comments section and the show note. In summary, the key takeaway from the index include: 

  • 90% of respondents are generally optimistic about overall success with prior twelve-month goals across sustainability categories including energy evolution and efficiency, emissions reduction, pollution prevention and circularity/recycling.
  • Forward-looking perceptions are less confident, with just 67% of respondents being optimistic about achieving goals for the coming twelve months.
  • Only 63% are optimistic about achieving their goals by 2030, an anchor deadline year for numerous commitments. It was an interesting conversation and the purpose behind this initiative is to - as Evan explains - get behind the headlines and look at what’s really being done to meet the anchor deadline year of 2030 for ESG targets. 

Some facts about Evan: In 2022 he was named by Constellation Research as one of the world's 50 most influential executives in the field of ESG, and also to the American Energy Society's 500 Global Sustainability Thought Leaders. Prior to Honeywell, Evan was a partner at the law Firm Sidley Austin LLP and the Assistant Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. 

He sits on a number of Boards & has taught International Environmental Law at Columbia Law School, lectured at the United Nations ITR; and was a credentialed observer at the UNFCCC COP 23 and COP 24.

Topics Covered: ESI, ESG, Mindset Change, Technology Upgrades, Hydrogen Initiatives.

Elaine Pringle, Head of Fleet at Scottish Waters talked about the journey to CO2 neutral vehicles for her organisation's fleet. The conversation centred around procurement and organisational mindset change. We talked about the enormity of the task and Elaine provided some guidance and lessons learned for organisations that are about to embark on this transition. 

It was a lovely conversation getting to know Elaine and understanding her commitment to meeting the net zero target set. 

Full of great insights from Elaine and at the same time a little surreal for the both of us - we have never in our lifetime met another 'Elaine Pringle'.

#HTAutomotiveSeries 2022 on Heads Talk

We continue the new #HTAutomotiveSeries 2022 on Heads Talk with a fascinating conversation and a ‘food for thought’ outcome. This episode is more than what the title suggests. Yes, we discussed the concepts and developments around AVs, but after listening to the recording again, I realised this was an incredible conversation. 

With Florian minderop’s, CVO of MisterGreen insights on Autonomous vehicles and how this will affect the ecosystem around it, it got me thinking of how at least southern European countries will potentially seize this opportunity to source energy from its own shores using land once thought of as only arid and 'barren' yet hot and vast to generate the necessary energy required for a functioning society and beyond. Imagine how that will affect the economy of such countries. Fascinating indeed. 
 
 One of the things that I talked about with Florian was his decision to move from being the CEO of his organisation to being the CVO - Chief Vision Officer. This allowed him time and space for some blue-sky thinking and to hone in on their vision without the daily grind of management.
 
 As ownership of vehicles will be at stake here with the advent and full use of autonomous offerings - Robofleet being one, we looked at some of the impact on the players in this space; in particular the insurance companies and how their business model will have to change. So much information was gathered from this conversation and it allowed me to think about the ecosystem of the future. What a change this industry will undergo. 
 
Topics Covered: Robofleet, EV Leasing, New Insurance Business Models? AVs, EVs, Landscape Change, Future Preparation Required

Episode Title:-  🇬🇧A Virtual Dressing Room🇬🇧 [Preliminary Discussion]

This is a bonus episode. Just before we kick start the new series fully next week.

Sometimes on Heads Talk  I have a preliminary conversation with guests prior to the official recording. Here is one for you to listen to. You will see that there is a lot more talking than I would usually do in an official recorded episode, but that is to explain  to the guests what I would like to gain from our conversation, understand what they are interested in talking about in terms of the provision of insights; or with some guests it's a 'get to know you conversation' before the recording. Some guest request this, some don't.

This one is with Ed Alford, CTO of New Look. I'm not sure if the official episode could have gone better than this conversation. Ed was great in providing snippets of information and the work they are doing in the technology arm of New Look; as well as hypothesising on what's to come with the increasing use of digital solutions.

Such a natural flowing conversation and hopefully a great  listen.

Topics Covered: AR, VR, Virtual Dressing, Sustainable solutions, Fashion and Tech.

This is a celebratory episode of Heads Talk  today.  I want to pay homage to an unshakeable leader that oozes inspiration. Such a fabulous conversation as we bid farewell to the 177th President of the Law Society of England and Wales

Ingrid Stephanie Boyce hands over the reins of the presidency in 2 days time, so I was absolutely delighted when she agreed to talk with Heads Talk about her tenure and plans for the future.

In the midst of my conversation with Stephanie and in the process understanding the journey she took, I lightheartedly called her actions ‘madness’ for her sheer tenacity. She is such a winner and an admirable one too. Thoroughly enjoyed the  discussion and embraced her personable nature, yet I observed how focused, self-assured and saturated with determination she was and is. One can easily bet that Stephanie’s next venture will be equally fruitful, opening many doors for others and providing a new refreshing perspective on practices, which will only ameliorate, enrich and dust off the cobwebs of the status quo. An episode to listen to time and time again if you need to hear the voice of someone who was once knocked back 4 times, but was not deterred, in fact when eventually the vote was Yes, she became the longest serving President of the Law Society England and Wales. Bravo Stephanie! You were the change we needed to see. 

Some Fact: Stephanie was admitted as a solicitor in 2002 & has a wealth of experience in corporate governance, regulatory frameworks and professional regulation. She wears many hats and has numerous titles to include Chair, Commissioner, Trustee, Board Member. 

Stephanie is an honorary professor of law at the Dickson Poon School of Law at Kings College London, and has received honorary Doctorates of Law from Keele University and University of East London.

In 2020 Stephanie was voted on to the Governance Hot 100 - Board Influencer and made the Power List 100 Most Influential Black People in the UK in 2021 and 2022

Topics Covered: Law Society Charitable Works,  Journey & Accomplishments, Legacy, Civics Education, Stephanie's USP,  What’s Next for Stephanie.

Episode Title:-🇳🇱The Metaverse is Mine!🇳🇱

I contemplated titling this episode “𝕀𝕥’𝕤 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖 𝕁𝕚𝕞, 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕒𝕤 𝕨𝕖 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕚𝕥’. It was so enjoyable talking with Aragorn Meulendijks , #CMO of YOM. Some controversial thoughts and ideas about the Metaverse. You’ll have to listen to the full episode to know what I’m talking about. His candor throughout the dialogue did not go unnoticed. Moments of ‘food for thought', moments of gasps! Serious stuff! 

You may catch some accidental references to Star Trek and the lines that come out of this sci-fi series - the original one! In fact, if you are very observant, you may see a Star Trek reference in the Audiogram itself.

On the whole, a brilliant conversation and one that truly adds to the #HTRetailSeries on Heads Talk. If there is one additional word I should add to this episode and person, it is - Genuine!

Episode Title:-  🇩🇪Marketing Changed Forever🇩🇪

We continue the #HTRetailSeries on Heads Talk with a  conversation with a leader  and strategic thinker. It was an absolute delight to talk with Dr. Marcell Vollmer, CEO of Prospitalia Group. I really like the way he thinks and delivers his messages. I'm a follower of his account on LinkedIn and am often enlightened by the content.

This episode was all about how the marketing and advertising process is changing with the advent of the metaverse; and what are the implications of this. Marcell took me on a journey and reminded me of the past marketing process and the now dated concept of Prime Time. Try telling GenZs all about this.

Episode Title:- 🇬🇧Retail Today🇬🇧

In this continuation of the #HTRetailSeries on Heads Talk , this episode should be called ‘Oh the Irony’ as the first line in the Audiogram suggests. It was a very insightful 'shot in the arm' type of conversation with Andrew Busby, Global Industry Leader Retail Software AG. 

This guy is brilliant, he should almost have a regular slot on Heads Talk. His candor was so refreshing and borderline entertaining. In this episode we have a dissection  and a carefully thought out analysis of the current topics in the retail space. 

In a Retail career spanning over 20 years, Andrew held leading positions at Kingfisher and Superdrug. He is constantly in demand for both writing and speaking; and is often quoted in the media – appearing on TV, radio and in the UK National Press.

Episode Title:-  🇭🇰China's E-Commerce Dominance and the Reasons🇭🇰

I alluded to this last week. I so enjoyed this conversation with my guest today, to the point that it is one of my F A V O U R I T E  conversations on Heads Talk . This is the new episode of the #HTRetailSeries and I was joined by Ashley Galina Dudarenok,  who is the founder and CEO of Alarice, a China-focused social media agency, & ChoZan, a Chinese Digital Consultancy. Based in Hong Kong, she is a renowned Digital Marketing Leader that wears a number of hats.

Ashley breaks it down forensically. Her analysis on the various growing giant digital corporations in China and how they have surpassed their Western counterparts is a MUST LISTEN to. I guarantee you’ll find this fascinating. e.g the Comparison between WhatsApp & WeChat, Premiumisation of things. We also talked about China’s 100 Years strategy; and the new modern Chinese consumer. Lots of goodies in this episode. I love the line about Alibaba’s Timol vision “They do not want to compete, they want to empower” - social commerce. Explained comprehensively by Ashley. Do have a listen. 

Interesting facts about Ashley: A prolific contributor to Media to include BBC, Forbes, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and others, she is also a keynote speaker on the circuit.  As Asia-Pacific's Top 25 Innovator, she runs the Ashley Talks YouTube channel - the top-rated vlog about China's Retail Tech,  Modern Chinese Consumers, New Retail Ecosystems; and of course Digital marketing.

Episode Title:-  🇬🇧The Green Wardrobe🇬🇧

In this episode of #HTRetailSeries on  Heads Talk  I had such a fluid and enjoyable conversation. A really good episode to listen to. Lots of laughs and at the same time the business topics were discussed with the level of seriousness and detail required. 

Charlotte Morley is the Founder & CEO of The Little Loo, an organisation that is, if not driving, part of the change for a circular economy in the children’s clothing industry. She recently celebrated the well earned partnership with @John Lewis & Partners to add to her tally of well known high quality brands that are entering The Green Wardrobe. Do follow this organisation and the work they are doing via LinkedIn

Charlotte was ready for my questions as she is used to having a few million viewers watch her perform the perfect pitch to Investors aka Dragon’s Den. It’s safe to say, she had them eating out of her hands at the end of it. Peter Jones was so impressed that he offered her a Job.

Episode Title:- 🇫🇮The New 2008: Retail, Wars and Impact🇩🇰

We begin a completely new series on Heads Talk.  The Retail Series, where we talk to CSuite Executive Leaders from well know brands or multinational corporations in this space about the current topics of the day.

Follow the new hashtag #HTRetailSeries to be the first to hear and receive news about this series. Not just from me, but from the guest contributors themselves. 

This first episode is rather special to me. When I was deep into the corporate world and I was either at KPMG or had just joined Deloitte, I bought my first flat and loved it. I went to my favourite furniture store, just to buy one or two items and ended up ‘kitting’ the whole flat out with it.  A very hefty bill, but I was so, so pleased and excited to have BoConcept all over my flat and I still have some of those pieces today. You just cannot beat quality! Now, let’s jump 20 years and here I am talking with the Chairman of the Board Sanna Suvanto-Harsaae. 

Sanna’s career span over 30 years in the business and we had an in-depth conversation about the state of play in the retail industry, now and predictions for the future.  Very fascinating and at times poignant discussion and I loved how Sanna dissected everything and make you understand why a certain direction was taken when everything pointed elsewhere. 

Some interesting facts about Sanna: She is the Chair of a number of  Nordic corporations in the retail and manufacturing industry.

Episode Title: 🇫🇷Sporting Powerplay: Unraveling the Global Nexus of Politics, Money, and State Interests🇫🇷

Halfway through my research for this new #HTSportsSeries on Heads Talk, I fortuitously came across a book that covered a large percentage of what the series is all about. The handful of chapters available online were not enough, so I reached out to the author to invite him on the show to discuss its content. I was thrilled when he agreed to do an episode with me, and equally excited when his publisher, Simon Whitmore, sent a copy of the book to read. It was a total page-turner and aligned perfectly with the vision I had for the series. In the comments, you will see a photo of the book taken when it arrived!

Simon Chadwick, Professor of Geopolitical Economy at Skema Business School in Paris, Member of Publica Think Tank and Director of the Global Executive MBA in Sport, naturally is the first guest of choice to kickstart this series. This topic is poised to become a major focus in the coming months and years, if it hasn't already. Incredibly fascinated by this subject, to the point of excitement, and I can't get enough of it. The developments happening right now are truly thought provoking —but all eyes are on AI. Take a moment to look beyond AI and see this! Arguably, it is one of my favourite episodes of Heads Talk to date.

Topics Covered:
◽️Soft Power Game
◽️SportsTech: Diffusion Effect
◽️Thoughts on State Investment in Sports
◽️How this Game is Played by Regions/Continents/Warring Countries 
◽️Sports Washing
◽️The Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony (Expectations & Messages)

Episode Title:- 🇬🇧Better Together🇬🇧

Recorded: 04.03.22
In this episode of the #HTFintechSeries of Heads Talk , I was joined by a principled individual with strong values on how technology and open trade can drive financial inclusion and improve people’s lives. He is definitely a firm believer of doing well by doing good. And shares his thoughts on not doing things alone, rather with the right kind of partnerships and collaboration. 

Simon Paris is the CEO of Finastra.  A corporation that is described as the world’s leading ecosystem orchestrator for providers and consumers of financial services everywhere.  Simon wears many hats and that came out in our discussion. He is a thought leader, highly respected speaker on the circuit, team-health-first advocate and has refreshing and candid views on equity in the workplace. 

Such a fluid conversation with Simon and our discussion centered around how today’s banks need to meet their customers on the customers’ journey rather than just sell their (banking) products and services. Simon, explains it better than me...

Episode Title:-  🇺🇸Downright Honest Leadership🇺🇸

This week on Head Talk we take a mini break from the #HTFintechSeries to talk to a leader that needs little introduction. 

Bracken Darrell is the President and CEO of Logitech and has had presidential and executive management roles in well known brands and organisations such as Procter & Gamble, Arthur Anderson, PepsiCo, General Electric and Whirlpool. Named Swiss CEO of the year by Obermatt three times in the past four years, won the P&G Alumni Innovation Award, and will receive the 2022 Edison Achievement Award. 

A no holds barred, frank and candid conversation. One that very much reflects what this podcast is all about - to get into the minds of Executive CSuites and Leaders of Multinationals about the current topics of the day, in their area of expertise.  Effectively, ‘fly on the boardroom wall’ episode today. #AFlyOnTheBoardroomWall. 

You do need to listen to the full episode to understand my reference to the candid nature of our discussion. Bracken talked about his ‘A-Ha Moment’ on a number of things. In particular the recent events that have led him to self-reflect and modify how he leads going forward.  I say this nearly every week - not to be missed; but have a listen, it will enlighten you to the merited title of the episode.

Bring the ‘Life’ back to Insurance

This week on the #HTFintechSeries of Head Talk I am joined by Sammy Rubin, CEO of Yulife and former CEO of Vitality. This was a very different conversation, where Sammy talks about his entrepreneurial journey and how Yulife, the London-based startup has developed a unique life insurance concept — it incentivises and rewards users to focus on their physical and mental health through a gamified interface. It raised $70 million in what is, to date, one of the largest Series Bs raised by an insurtech startup in Europe.  Led by Target Global, the round also included Eurazeo, Latitude and previous backers Creandum, Notion Capital, Anthemis, MMC Ventures, and OurCrowd. Sammy confirmed that the round values YuLife at $346 million (£250 million).

To succinctly conclude: Yulife  is bringing the 'Life’ back into life insurance.

As we celebrate International Woman's Day, let's celebrate this individual woman and the work she is doing to expand financial access to the unbanked on the African continent.

We continue the #HTFintechSeries on Head Talk  with a conversation with Chilufya Mutale, CEO of PremierCredit Zambia.  This admirable leader & successful entrepreneur is tapping into a market and addressing a need for the Micro banking community.  

This was a discussion on the need for micro financing in developing countries and how PremierCredit is addressing this. We also talked about how banks are positively working with large Fintech organisation but are leaving the small businesses behind. As a result, a gap is created for organisation such as PremierCredit to help bridge this gap. 

Chilfuya is doing so many great things on the continent and have some great plans for the future. One of the things mentioned was the peer to peer platform, effectively empowering individuals to micro lend safely and with the necessary controls required.

Episode Title:-🇬🇧Trailblazing BNPL🇸🇪

We are back full steam ahead with #HTFintechSeries on Heads Talk. Many great guests to come, so watch out for this on Mondays (and sometimes on Thursdays).

Let me start with Alex Marsh, Country Lead and Head Klarna UK. Klarna is the Swedish Bank that is one of the world’s highly valued private Fintechs. 

Now this was an enjoyable conversation. Alex clearly knows his craft and was enthusiastic to discuss the topic of the rise of BNPL. He provided me with some fascinating insights on how BNPL has changed buyers habits and behaviours; and potentially will see the end of Credit Cards as we know it.

Episode Title:-  🇬🇷Redesign Professional Services🇬🇷

In a continuation of the Professional Services week on Heads Talk, I am happy to introduce this erudite leader, whose academic excellence is clearly featured throughout this conversation.  He was a joy to listen to. Definitely a mind expanding exercise and a personal appreciation of the dialogue we had. 

Kyriacos Sabatakakis is the Country Head and Managing Partner Accenture Greece and the South Eastern Europe region. I loved how he elaborated on the reasoning behind some of the directions taken in the professional services industry today. A clear thinker and sound deliverer of information. This is a leader that not only talks about changing, diversifying and doing different and challenging things but also leads on it, creating noticeable results for the organisation and the territories that he heads. So we definitely have a talker and a doer here.  How refreshing!

While the title suggests we talked solely about rethinking professional services for today’s needs, we also discussed the promise of 5G and the direction this is taking us all. Kyriacos, with his extensive experience  and expertise in this field, provided me and my listeners with his understanding on what 5G will bring to the table other the common expectation of better communications. Fascinating segment of the episode, so make a note of this.
