S01 E15 | Sir Thomas Hughes-Hallet, Chairman - "The Person Behind the Job Title" - a podcast by The PNE Podcast

In this episode, Jack has the privilege of speaking with philanthropist and healthcare leader Sir Thomas Hughes-Hallet, Chairman of Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust, Founder and Chair of The Marshall Institute within the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Founder and Chair of Helpforce.

Sir Thomas gives a fascinating account of his life and career journey. He admits he has been privileged and lucky to attend some of the world's most prestigious institutions, including Eton ("it was a very privileged life wearing pretty unusual clothes") and Oxford University, where he sang every night in the choir at evensong and "fell in love disastrously on a number of occasions".

On a gap year from university, he lived in Zimbabwe for year teaching in the first mixed-race school, perhaps setting the scene for his passion for volunteer and charity work later in his career. Sir Thomas has spent the last few decades giving back - firstly heading up Marie Cure Cancer Care, then going on to set up his own charitable projects The Marshall Institute and Helpforce.

This episode offers a unique view on leadership, work, and life from someone who has been both in the fast-paced, world of investment banking as well as leading major charitable initiatives and healthcare organisations with a real passion for protecting and supporting the NHS.
