Hi, my name is Leo.

I'm interested in technology, culture, and change.
At work, I build tools that help sales grow lightning fast.
I code, write, and take photos.

What I've learnt...

My story, so far

I grew up in a little village called Brockham

LESSON: if you want to make something happen, be it a treehouse or anything bigger, you have to take the initiative (and you can)

I went to four very different schools

LESSON: change happens, and you can choose whether to make the most of it or not

Left school, voted likeliest to marry their job... and second funniest

LESSON: make sure that people don't pigeonhole you

Went to university

LESSON: smart people can justify anything they want; what matters is the direction they choose

Turned a student society into a global media group

LESSON: other people will often have better ideas than you

Co-founded Oxford's largest access organisation, UniReach

LESSON: how to bring people together, how to lead a team, and (sort of) how to code

Interned at a charity

LESSON: brilliant, kind, lovely, thoughtful, creative people need support in getting things done

Started writing online

LESSON: how to balance consuming information and making use of it

Did really well in my exams (seriously, I'm still surprised)

LESSON: work really really hard for the goals you want to achieve in your life

Began working at Egon Zehnder

LESSON: focus on the big things, how to build a good culture and why it's important, and how psychology makes teams effective

Building Culture3

LESSON: how culture shapes technology, and more about how technology will shape us, plus how to hire people

Scaled Beam across the world

LESSON: how to build initiatives that actually stick around

Accelerating Omnea

LESSON: what serious speed looks like

I don't know what the future holds.

But I would love to chat about what it might look like.
