Quick-fire questions with Jack
What's a technology that gives you the most joy to use?
I’m a bit of a nerd and have recently got into sim racing, so I would say my VR setup gives me a lot of joy and immersion!
If you could share a meal with anyone in history. Who would it be and why?
Winston Churchill. I think it would be both intriguing and intimidating at the same time. I hear he has quite the wit and a formidable personality. I’m sure he could teach me a few things about Leadership.
What's an industry you would love to learn more about?
Physics and Astronomy - it's pretty mind boggling learning about space and the different theories. I’m a big fan of Brian Cox, he has an amazing way of simplifying complex ideas to make them more digestible. With the James Webb telescope, I’m hoping that we will make some amazing discoveries during my lifetime.
It’s a sunny day, you have no plans for the next 12 hours... Where do you go and what
do you do?
You would find me playing tennis at my local club (Thorndon), followed by enjoying a cold beer.
What do you think is the most important skill for interviewing?
Self awareness and the ability to read the room.
