He was a driving force behind Grow with Google, which has helped over 20 million people develop skills for the future, and has worked closely with policymakers to shape regulation and launch Google’s Safety Engineering Centres in the region.

He has served as a trustee of The Media Trust and The Climate Group, and was a non-executive director at Sainsbury’s for nine years.
