• I’ve commissioned some of the world’s most influential and inspirational politicians, academics, philosophers, musicians, activists, economists and writers to talk about major global opportunities and challenges.

    Amongst a decade of exciting events, I put on yearly events at Wilderness Festival and Camp Bestival; pulled together live radio debates for London’s LBC radio station; produced launch events and signings with major global publishers like Penguin Random House; commissioned new and exclusive poetry from leading poets like Alice Oswald; staged a fireside chat between David Attenborough and Tim Flannery; commissioned commencement addresses from Cheryl Strayed and John Lloyd, and an exclusive state-of-the-nation polemic from Billy Bragg; convened public policy roundtables with leading academics and government advisers; invited Slavoj Zizek to give a discourse on charity, Ken Robinson to discuss the future of education, and Brene Brown to discuss the importance of empathy and wholeheartedness.
