In this episode of the #HTAutomotiveSeries of HeadsTalk, I am joined by an individual who is extremely passionate about innovative mobility solutions, mobile communications, its application and service; and all things digital - what's trending at the moment!

Prior to this, Marcus worked on a consultative basis for the Life-science organisation, Roche Diagnostics. .

We talked about the Internet of things and the number of applications within a car; and what  it all means.  It was great to talk with an ardent EV enthusiast who regularly posts his views, knowledge and understanding in this space on LinkedIN, so do take a look .

Episode Title:-  🇬🇧Corporate Fleet Net Zero Journey🇬🇧

Follow the hashtag #HeadsTalk to be notified of news, episodes & guests.

We have a special and surreal episode of Heads Talk today.  My guest today is my namesake and she perfectly fits in with the #HTAutomotiveSeries 2022. 
 
Elaine Pringle, Head of Fleet at Scottish Waters talked about the journey to CO2 neutral vehicles for her organisation's fleet. The conversation centred around procurement and organisational mindset change. We talked about the enormity of the task and Elaine provided some guidance and lessons learned for organisations that are about to embark on this transition. 

It was a lovely conversation getting to know Elaine and understanding her commitment to meeting the net zero target set. 

Full of great insights from Elaine and at the same time a little surreal for the both of us - we have never in our lifetime met another 'Elaine Pringle'.  

Topics Covered: Fleet Management, EV Solutions, Procurement Partners, Procurement Process, Fuel Cell Trials, Utilities, Autonomous Vehicles

Episode Title:-🇳🇱Ride-As-A-Service (RaaS) - Robofleet Ready🇳🇱

#HTAutomotiveSeries 2022 on Heads Talk

We continue the new #HTAutomotiveSeries 2022 on Heads Talk with a fascinating conversation and a ‘food for thought’ outcome. This episode is more than what the title suggests. Yes, we discussed the concepts and developments around AVs, but after listening to the recording again, I realised this was an incredible conversation. 

With Florian minderop’s, CVO of MisterGreen insights on Autonomous vehicles and how this will affect the ecosystem around it, it got me thinking of how at least southern European countries will potentially seize this opportunity to source energy from its own shores using land once thought of as only arid and 'barren' yet hot and vast to generate the necessary energy required for a functioning society and beyond. Imagine how that will affect the economy of such countries. Fascinating indeed. 
 
 One of the things that I talked about with Florian was his decision to move from being the CEO of his organisation to being the CVO - Chief Vision Officer. This allowed him time and space for some blue-sky thinking and to hone in on their vision without the daily grind of management.
 
 As ownership of vehicles will be at stake here with the advent and full use of autonomous offerings - Robofleet being one, we looked at some of the impact on the players in this space; in particular the insurance companies and how their business model will have to change. So much information was gathered from this conversation and it allowed me to think about the ecosystem of the future. What a change this industry will undergo. 
 
Topics Covered: Robofleet, EV Leasing, New Insurance Business Models? AVs, EVs, Landscape Change, Future Preparation Required

Episode Title:-  🇬🇧A Virtual Dressing Room🇬🇧 [Preliminary Discussion]

This is a bonus episode. Just before we kick start the new series fully next week.

Sometimes on Heads Talk  I have a preliminary conversation with guests prior to the official recording. Here is one for you to listen to. You will see that there is a lot more talking than I would usually do in an official recorded episode, but that is to explain  to the guests what I would like to gain from our conversation, understand what they are interested in talking about in terms of the provision of insights; or with some guests it's a 'get to know you conversation' before the recording. Some guest request this, some don't.

This one is with Ed Alford, CTO of New Look. I'm not sure if the official episode could have gone better than this conversation. Ed was great in providing snippets of information and the work they are doing in the technology arm of New Look; as well as hypothesising on what's to come with the increasing use of digital solutions.

Such a natural flowing conversation and hopefully a great  listen.

Topics Covered: AR, VR, Virtual Dressing, Sustainable solutions, Fashion and Tech.

Episode Title:-  🇬🇧Be The Change You Want To See🇬🇧

Follow the hashtag #HeadsTalk on LinkedIN to be notified of news, episodes and guests.

This is a celebratory episode of Heads Talk  today.  I want to pay homage to an unshakeable leader that oozes inspiration. Such a fabulous conversation as we bid farewell to the 177th President of the Law Society of England and Wales. 

Ingrid Stephanie Boyce hands over the reins of the presidency in 2 days time, so I was absolutely delighted when she agreed to talk with Heads Talk about her tenure and plans for the future.

In the midst of my conversation with Stephanie and in the process understanding the journey she took, I lightheartedly called her actions ‘madness’ for her sheer tenacity. She is such a winner and an admirable one too. Thoroughly enjoyed the  discussion and embraced her personable nature, yet I observed how focused, self-assured and saturated with determination she was and is. One can easily bet that Stephanie’s next venture will be equally fruitful, opening many doors for others and providing a new refreshing perspective on practices, which will only ameliorate, enrich and dust off the cobwebs of the status quo. An episode to listen to time and time again if you need to hear the voice of someone who was once knocked back 4 times, but was not deterred, in fact when eventually the vote was Yes, she became the longest serving President of the Law Society England and Wales. Bravo Stephanie! You were the change we needed to see. 

Some Fact: Stephanie was admitted as a solicitor in 2002 & has a wealth of experience in corporate governance, regulatory frameworks and professional regulation. She wears many hats and has numerous titles to include Chair, Commissioner, Trustee, Board Member. 

Stephanie is an honorary professor of law at the Dickson Poon School of Law at Kings College London, and has received honorary Doctorates of Law from Keele University and University of East London.

In 2020 Stephanie was voted on to the Governance Hot 100 - Board Influencer and made the Power List 100 Most Influential Black People in the UK in 2021 and 2022

Topics Covered: Law Society Charitable Works,  Journey & Accomplishments, Legacy, Civics Education, Stephanie's USP,  What’s Next for Stephanie.
