    Chatting with Chief Executive Officer(CEO) at Bridge Institute Mac McKenzie from United Kingdom- Simon “Mac” McKenzie – Chief Executive Officer, Bridge Institute, London, United Kingdom. I had the honor of speaking with Simon “Mac” McKenzie, the Chief Executive Officer of the Bridge Institute, on my podcast Smart Cherrys Thoughts. Mac is a visionary leader who brings together senior figures from government, business, and civil society through the Bridge Institute — a global, non-partisan organization committed to solving the world’s most pressing challenges in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. From conflict resolution and education reform to equality and climate action, his work focuses on creating real and lasting impact. With more than a decade of leadership at the Bridge Institute, Mac shared valuable insights on redefining leadership, fostering unlikely partnerships, and driving systemic change. A graduate of the University of Oxford with a Master’s in Engineering, Economics, and Management, he combines deep analytical thinking with empathy and collaboration. Outside of his professional life, Mac is an avid sportsman and mountaineer who believes the qualities found in sport — endurance, teamwork, and resilience — are the same values that build strong, impactful leaders. It was an inspiring conversation on Smart Cherrys Thoughts, exploring how collective leadership and compassion can truly shape a better world. Website- https://smartcherrysthoughts.com
