you see. That said, there is only so
much peaceful island life that I can
handle before I feel the need to be
plugged back into the grid. A week
away from it all is long enough for me!

Where is your favourite
holiday destination and why?
After having visited the Maldives,
this is definitely my single favourite
destination. I have never experienced
any other destination that comes close
in terms of its natural beauty, quality of
service and tranquility across multiple
islands. The Maldives certainly live up
to the glossy brochure advertisements
I am reading a great book at the
moment – Elon Musk’s biography,
he was an incredible innovator and
an inspiration who has completely
challenged the car industry and now
leads the way in electric cars. He is
also buying up battery companies
in the East in parallel to change the
way we store and consume electricity
for our domestic use. And if that
isn’t enough, his end goal is set on
colonising Mars or at least making our
civilian space travel as a bi-product.
It makes me wonder when does this
guy ever sleep? I saw an interesting
statistic in a newspaper recently
that Telsa and SpaceX (Elon Musk’s
inventions) are now recognised in the
top three most meaningful hi-tech
companies to work for (and I imagine
one of the most stressful!)
What do you hope to be
doing 10 years from now?
I really hope that I will be doing more
of what I am doing right now but
on a larger scale and making more
impact. I thoroughly enjoy challenging
the status quo in my work, causing
a disruption within the industry, all
the while having fun and actually
being part of an organisation who are
making a difference. If I am able to do
this then it hardly feels like work when
it meets some or hopefully all of the
aforementioned traits.
