Tom Ilube – The Start Up Guy - entrepreneur, philanthropist & the first black Chair of the RFU Money Espresso - no-froth conversations exploring money and life
-
- Zaken en persoonlijke financiën
In this episode I chat to Tom Ilube who shares his incredible achievements as a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and the first black Chair of the RFU.
Coming from a mixed race family Tom speaks about his upbringing between London, Uganda and Nigeria and the resilience and techniques that taught him which would become formative in his business success. We speak about the racism he faced as a young black man in London in the 70s and the long arc of change.
He explains how he found himself in computing before most of us knew what they were and how he has approached philanthropy in an entrepreneurial way to maximise the impact he can make in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) education both in the UK and for young women in Africa. His aim is to change the narrative. He also gives me some wonderful advice about having better philanthropic conversations.
Finally, Tom talks about his vision for rugby in the UK and in particular the women’s game and shares his best money purchase for around £30 and his Money Pearl of Wisdom.
Sit back, grab yourself an espresso (or drink of your choice!) and enjoy the conversation.
