Thought Leadership - Disruption & Impact

Whilst he has had direct experience of many industries throughout his career, Anthony has a particular passion for “disruption” (specifically businesses that disrupt markets with technology and/or with new business models). 

Disruption requires adoption in its target markets - which is nearly always the biggest challenge - and which therefore requires not just early adopters to lead change for the better but also adoption by the "early majority" - who need help to make the leap.  Anthony's thought leadership and podcasts seek to encourage this leap.

Impact by purpose led businesses is a high priority for Anthony - particularly where disruption is also involved  and is reflected in his banking client base as well as his thought leadership focus.

​

Anthony is an alumnus of King’s College London (Modern Languages) and the London Business School.  

​

He is fluent in Spanish, French and Portuguese.
