‘Unfinished Business’ is the Henley Personal Development podcast.

"How can we ensure that those at the bottom of the income scale benefit fairly from economic growth?" Jeremy Hillman and Dr Chris Dalton discuss building Inclusive Economies. 

In our third episode, Jeremy Hillman (Washington DC) explains the benefits of ‘Inclusive Economies’ serving everyone in society, and a delve into how his perception of success has evolved throughout his career.

 
Jeremy Hillman is Senior Vice President of External Engagement at the Mastercard Centre for Inclusive Growth, Mastercard’s philanthropic hub, where he is responsible for external relations and strategic partnerships.

 

From 2001-09 Jeremy was deeply involved in journalism with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), where he led significant editorial teams through tumultuous economic times like the 2008 global financial crisis. He also ran the newsroom of BBC World News, in addition to other leadership roles in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, providing a firm foundation for his insights into global media dynamics.

Prior to that Jeremy was Director of External Communications at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation where he worked closely with the co-chairs on media and digital content and strategies in support of its global health, development and education work.

 

‘Unfinished Business’ is the Henley Personal Development podcast. Hosted by Dr Chris Dalton, each episode is an invitation to join a conversation with an inspiring leader as they reflect on their lives, careers, and self-awareness. This is the personal side of management learning, which is a lifelong and emergent journey toward sustainable health and well-being for individuals, organisations, and wider community.
 

Many of those featured have graduated from Henley Business School’s top-ranked Executive MBA programme, and they represent a diverse set of nationalities, industries, job functions, and outlooks. What they have in common is a love of learning and passion for growth.

 

What barriers prevent us from reaching our full potential? How can fostering a healthy work-life balance enhance leadership? What role does personal growth play in driving organisational success? How can we contribute to a healthier community and environment? Join Chris and his guests as they tackle these questions, and more, as they navigate their unfinished business.
