Welcoming Tedd George this week who is the founder and Chief Narrative Officer of Kleos Advisory providing thought leadership and strategic advisory on African markets, commodity value chains and a range of disruptive technology.

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Tedd has a diverse range of specialities including African and emerging markets, soft commodities, trade and trade finance, and ESG. He's also a media commentator and regularly appears as chairman, speaker and moderator on the world conference and webinar circuits.

Born and bred in London, Tedd has a passion for travel and foreign languages which has taken him across Europe, Latin America and Africa. A linguist by training, he's fluent in Spanish, French and Portuguese and likes giving talks at universities and schools on his favourite subjects – the Cuban Revolution and Africa’s Digital Transformation.

His book "Stirring Up Sheffield: An Insider’s Account Of The Battle To Build The Crucible Theatre" which he co-wrote with his father, Colin George is out now.

This conversation is so mind bendingly epic, we don't quite know where to start with describing it! what we do know is that we'll be doing an extended run over the next 2 weeks, the only way to do Tedd's enormous wealth of knowledge, experience and personality some justice.

Strap in and press play. We'll see you on the other side.
