Which talent would you most like to have?

I cannot sing to save my life (as many a karaoke bar will testify), so I would love to wake up one day with that talent magically manifested

What do you most value in your friends and in colleagues – and are they different things?

Taking your time: Time to have a proper conversation, time to help someone through a hard time, time to truly immerse yourself in a project or a passion. The willingness and ability to take your time, is what I value most in both friends and colleagues.

Which historical figure do you most identify with?

Leonardo da Vinci: The ultimate proof that creativity begets creativity. His greatest achievements happened not as a result of isolated genius, but at the intersections of art, mathematics, philosophy, engineering and science. Like him, I want to live a life of learning, deriving innovation from the junction of different fields.

What is your motto?

“Wrinkles mean you laughed, grey hair means you cared and scars mean you lived”

Finally – You’ve time travelled back to your 10- year old self – What advice would you give?

One of the greatest skills to master is PRIORITISATION. You can achieve anything, but not everything. Explore what matters to you (not just to others) and pursue those with vigour and discipline.
