Yes! And in HE, widening the pool of talent that we already have rather than selecting from the same traditional one. Second career academics, professional services and third space for example. Many of whom already have deep organisational experience.

Spot on Ben. Just what the world needs: another loner, socially awkward, psychologically maladjusted billionaire 🙄 we’ve got enough of them already. I doubt he will make 30 anyway the way he is going. The media needs to stop lionising these types.
