SERCO
CHRIS HYMAN
“To have transformative change in any government we need to see some bravery.  We need brave and radical thinking.
I see a vast need for services to improve everywhere from education to infrastructure. For too long the delivery of public services has focused on the delivery rather than the user.”

PFIZER
JEFFREY KINDLER
“The political environment in the US is so toxic and short term focused that we are not having the conversations we need to reset the economy….If we don’t have this dialogue we will find ourselves in a worse situation.
It has not been as robust a dialogue as I would have hoped. It is very troubling to me that we are not having that dialogue.”

ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND
STEPHEN HESTER

“Banks are open for business. We are eager to support our customers.
The biggest lesson we have learned is that the world needs banks and banks need the world.
We have three goals ??– to serve our customers, to rebuild RBS as a bank fit for purpose and to repay the taxpayer.”
