This episode's guest is Tom Gosling. After nearly twenty-five years at PriceWaterhouseCoopers as an expert on executive pay and board policy, he set out to create a new portfolio career with ESG at the centre.
He is currently Executive Fellow in the Department of Finance at London Business School, and holds fellowships, advisory and consulting positions at a number of other major organisations, including the FCA and The Purposeful Company.
Tom bridges high-level experience and deep thinking across a fascinating range of subjects, making this a conversation not to be missed.
- Are CEOs really overpaid
- Do ESG Targets work
- Are stock markets too short-termist
- Is climate change truly a 'shareholder value' concern
- Do we need to get business out of politics - or the opposite
'...So what's absolutely clear is that individuals can't solve this by themselves. And I think it's wrong to entirely put the emphasis on individuals. And that is part of the reason why I haven't taken an excessively harsh approach to this...But on the other hand, I think the idea that Governments have got to solve this, say, let's just wait for governments to act is kind of for the birds as well. That's not how politics works...'
