Chief executive, Agilitas

Which tech figurehead do you admire the most?

Elon Musk. A true innovator not afraid of disruption.

What's the biggest challenge facing the industry no-one is talking about yet?

Relevance, the ability to add value and be a constant in the eyes of your customer.

If you could invite three famous people to dinner, who would they be?

Simon Sinek, Malcolm Gladwell and Edith Cavell.

How has 2017 been for you?

Booming! 2017 has been epic with a number of landmark achievements for the folks at Agilitas.

What's the most extravagant business lunch you've ever had?

I'm hoping it's yet to come with plenty of Amarone and cohibas.

Which global city best matches your personality?

Istanbul. Traditional, classic and yet innovative.

What would be your super-hero power?

Multiplicity. Imagine what could be accomplished with five of me!

Complete this sentence. The worst thing about our rivals is… Their self-interest before the customer's interests.

What makes you nervous?

Apart from answering random questions and trying to appear normal? Predictability makes me nervous as you need to know where the edge is.

If you could eat one type of food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

My grandma's rice pudding… an Irish classic.
