Neil played a major role in the merger of Penguin Random House, which saw him promoted to group HR Director following stints at Random House, Rentokil and Argos.
Having overseen the merger of two major publishing houses Neil is acutely aware of the anxiety changes can bring. He speaks about leading in times of disruption, embracing lessons from leading an organisation through digital change and touches on the impact of technology on work and even how we think about work.
He believes that values lead organisations, and that purpose and values are what drives organisational success - getting this right is key. He offers a fascinating insight into organisations in the 21st Century and addressing the challengers of the Millenial Generation.
