How to Develop Global Leaders - Rupert Brown Thinking Inside the Box
-
- Business News
Rupert Brown is global business leader with a diverse background, including stints with enterprise giants Procter & Gamble and Maersk, and private equity backed businesses in the consumer goods and education sectors. Most recently Rupert was Chief People Officer at GEMS Education based in Dubai, the world's largest school operator, where he focussed on the talent, culture and processes required to grow into new markets.
Rupert is passionate about the effects that globalization and digital transformation have on business, and in particular, how we will develop diverse leadership talent in the future of work. He’s spent the majority of his career living outside of his native UK, including assignments in Switzerland, Singapore (twice), Denmark, and the United Arab Emirates.
We had a far-ranging discussion that included: the extent to which technology has really saved us during this pandemic, the seismic talent shift occurring as organizations see record levels of turnover, and us opining about redefining the corporate athlete for a post-pandemic world of work.
It was a really enjoyable, timely discussion and we hope you enjoy it.
