I read obsessively — self-help, history, philosophy, anything that makes me think differently about something I thought I already understood. I ask too many questions. I find most things genuinely interesting, which sounds like a nice quality until you realise it makes it very hard to switch off.

Outside of work, I'm either packing a bag for somewhere, usually solo, usually on impulse — or I'm at the gym, on a cricket pitch, or in a dance class I was too scared to join for years. I feed stray dogs at odd hours. That one's hard to explain, I just do it.

I care deeply about the people I'm around, the work I do, and whether both are honest. I've got a strong sense of what matters to me and I don't really bend that for anyone. That's more or less who I am. The rest is detail.
