Why did you choose True?

I chose True because I have always been an advocate for doing things differently. There's room at True to forge a different path in life and be heard in the corporate world—something I had previously thought was not possible.

How would you describe your job to a five-year-old?

I bring True's story to life, bringing people together so they know who we are, what we do and why we do it.

What do you love most—and least—about your job?

I love the people! Working with people I get on well with is key to what is important to me in my job, and True has a knack for hiring amazing people. What I love least is that no matter how well I plan things, things can and will change at the last minute—you just have to roll with it.

What book, article or movie has profoundly impacted your life?

Tarsem Singh's 'The Fall' (2007). It's about the redemptive power of storytelling, in both good and bad times—imagination here isn't an escape from reality but something we can engage with. It's a beautiful visual epic about compassion and how the most unexpected people can end up teaching you the most. It taught me that no matter who you meet, despite our differences, if you're open-minded there is always common ground.

Which person or people helped shape and inspire who you are today?

My grandfather. My first and oldest friend—I've grown up with his stories of his father who was a double agent for MI5 during WWII, and he's still telling me new stories today. He has always backed me in everything I do, his most valuable lesson being to always have a sense of humour.
