How do you spend your time outside of work
For downtime, I unwind with movies and shows, cheer on England's football teams (both men and women) and playing games – a fun throwback to my gaming industry days!
If you could have a business lunch with anyone who could significantly influence you/the business, who would that be and why?
It would have to be Steven Bartlett. I’d be interested in meeting the real Steven away from all the cameras and to find out what drove him to where he is today and his insights into where the digital world is heading.
