Why was he interested in joining Report Leadership?

“Corporate reporting has reached an impasse with many companies simply ticking the regulatory boxes and failing to think about what they are trying to communicate. Few take a step back and look at their reporting as a whole – or consider what their audiences actually want. I hope that Report Leadership will encourage a few more companies to think about those issues.”
