Roger Whittle

CEO, Jigsaw24

What has been your personal highlight of 2021?

Realising how beautiful the British Isles are for fantastic holiday memories.

Which tech figurehead has impressed you the most this year, and why?

Elon Musk, for his relentless innovation with cars, software, battery storage and space.

Which one lockdown habit do you plan to keep going?

Talking about losing weight.

Which face-to-face industry event are you most excited to return to, and why?

Every single industry event - Zoom and Teams play a valuable role, but nothing beats seeing people face-to-face.

If you had the time to learn one new skill, what would it be?

To have any kind of musical ability would be a bonus! I have none whatsoever.

If you could go back in time and tell your childhood self one thing, what would you say?

"Now then young Roger. You need to devote your life to this growing problem called global warming and impressing on everyone you can that we need to act, otherwise, by the time you are a parent, let alone 40 or 50, it will have haemorrhaged into a global emergency which will threaten us all."

If you had to sing karaoke, what would be your song of choice?

It's always Kung Fu Fighting - everyone joins in and ends up collapsing in laughter - unbeatable!

Sum 2021 up in three words.

Let's stick together.
