The Raconteur 50 CEO
Raconteur
The role of a modern-day CEO is rapidly evolving. It's no longer just about profit margins, revenue growth, or share prices. Today’s leaders must strike a balance between financial performance, employee well-being, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments. In times of uncertainty and disruption, innovation and sustainable growth are more critical than ever.

I’m honoured to be recognised as one of The Raconteur 50 CEOs, alongside incredible leaders like Douglas Lamont of Tony's Chocolonely and Shirine Khoury-Haq of Co-op. Being included in this list is a testament to the work we’re doing at The Cheeky Panda—reshaping the tissue industry and driving sustainable solutions to combat climate change. -
