ABOUT OUR GUEST

Ben Gallagher is the co-founder of B+A, a behaviour research agency whose clients include Nike, Google and Beats by Dre. He is an expert on business culture, which dictates the fortunes of corporate giants and fast-growth startups alike, but has a highly original take on what culture really means how businesses can go about building a productive one. But Covid-19 has changed the way we work beyond all recognition. With offices in London, Portland and Shanghai, B+A are no strangers to working remotely. But right now is different. Ben would be happy to shed some light on how big corporations are coping and provide practical tips to other businesses.

His areas of expertise include:

• How to build a positive culture at a time when everyone is working from home
• How to engage with ‘post-coronavirus’ countries like China
• How to deal with businesses allocating resources created pre-coronavirus
• How we can learn from this crisis and build stronger, more cohesive businesses

Ben was a journalist at MTV and later, Sir David Frost’s producer at Al-Jazeera, before finding himself leading Nike’s efforts to make running appeal to young people. He believes that businesses can and must have a positive and tangible impact on the world; and works with executives to ensure they are in tune with their staff at all levels.
