Our guest today on Moments of Clarity is Malcolm Preston.

Malcolm Preston is an Adjunct Professor at Kellogg School of Management, teaching sustainability on their MBA and Executive Education programmes and visiting Faculty at Harvard Business School. He is also the Sustainability Adviser to a number of large international businesses and one small sustainability start-up.

Malcolm recently retired as the Global Head of Sustainability Services at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), leading a team of some 700 sustainability and climate change experts. Malcolm lead PwC’s thought leadership on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and, in particular, the role of the private sector in their achievement.

An accomplished speaker, Malcolm has spoken at numerous events including as a keynote speaker at the Rio +20 Summit, the World Bank, the New York Stock Exchange, and the United Nations.

During the podcast we discuss Malcolm's career with PwC, the art of public speaking, his love of teaching, his love of travel, situational deprivation as a tool to living a good life, pivoting from a life of audits to climate change, reimagining our societal structures to adequately deal with the climate crisis, challenging the system within 'the brand boundary' and a moment of clarity.
