“Connectivity and Place have never been more relevant. These themes run through the great challenges of this decade – adjusting to new ways of living post COVID-19; charting a course for Net Zero; addressing the productivity issues that drive inequality; and shaping new global networks. These call for the commercialisation of bold new ideas in a complex environment. CPC will play an important role in making this happen and I’m delighted to join a great team.”
