    Live Interview - Sébastien Géliquot-Serna with Timothy Fare-Matthews

    "Everyone has a talent, everyone has a story to tell." Octoos Talents are passionate people with an expertise. Talents would like to share their know-how, their expertise, their passion through an experience/activity. Talents bring emotions to Explorers and allow them to better understand the DNA of a city in an authentic and new angle. In this talk Sebastien will delve further into the Octoos mindset and teach us how to explore a city the right way. Sebastien’s roots come from a mix of French and Spanish cultures and he has lived in several different countries. He worked for a large corporation for 15 years and had the chance to be a Business Angel for early stage companies in parallel. He has had the pleasure of visiting more than 60+ countries and an impressive array of iconic world monuments. His most vivid memories though are the encounters with people. On every trip without fail, he has engaged with locals all around the world. It then became a requisite for him when travelling: meeting people, communicating, exchanging. Because everyone has a hidden talent, because everyone can bring something special to someone else, he had the idea to connect people: to connect local talents and explorers for everyone to share and live a one-of-a-kind experience. Octoos was thus born. Sometimes you meet people who will change your life for the better! It is time to meet, exchange, share and thrive on our talents.

    Live Interview - Matthew Benjamin with Sebastian Bates: Pivoting Towards Sustainability

    In this talk, Matthew will discuss how, having spent the past 10 years working in bespoke menswear, the last 3 running his own business with sustainability being a big driver, he decided to take this into school uniforms where the potential for positive impact is so much bigger. At the moment uniforms have a huge environmental impact and aren't good for the kids wearing them, and he’s decided to make a change in that system. Covid isn't just about pivoting, it is about pivoting to business models that are going to help solve the climate crisis that we face, and he plans to take us through the steps of how his business did just that. Matthew Benjamin was born and raised in London. His father is from Guyana, and although his mother was born in the UK, her parents are from Jamaica. With a dad hailing from the Caribbean, he grew up playing cricket and the Windies are his team. He studied Advertising in the UK before going to study an MBA in Luxury Management at the International University of Monaco. His career started in London, working for the largest custom clothing company in the world, Tom James, which led him to come to Dubai, to open and run an office for them, becoming one of the youngest in the history of the company to do so. In 2017 he started Benjamin Siggers, a bespoke menswear business with sustainability at its core. As his passion for sustainability grew, so did his ambition to make more of an impact, which has resulted in him starting Kapes.
