What does a typical day look like for you now?

07:30: Drag myself out of bed. I am not an early bird. Thankfully WFH means no more 5:50am alarms to miss rush hour!

08:30: Much screaming and bribing to get the kids ready for school

09.00: First coffee of the day and a cupful of multi-vitamins to slow down the journey to death’s door

9.10pm: Ride the hamster wheel of emails, conference calls, report skimming, news catch up. Work with Asia and Europe

12pm: Pit (or pee) stop, coffee top-up.

How has Coronavirus impacted your life/work?

There has never been a time when we have to work closer together in fighting this war; a war that we don’t know how to win; a war that we don’t even know if we’re winning at the end of each day; a war where we don’t have the right weapons and armour but our troops in blue still bravely man the frontline every day. Together we stand and fight but from a socially isolated position.

What five books would you recommend during this time at home?

Right now, I’m determined to first get through the stacks of 

Bloomberg Businessweek and Stylist magazines… I’m a hoarder, I never throw away a magazine until I’ve read it.

Then tackle all the books I’ve bought over the years but never got a chance to read. So maybe ask me this question in six months!

When this is all over, what will the opportunities look like?

Economically and politically, the clean up is going to be tough. The community spirit has given everyone hope in these dark days. This crisis has opened up opportunities in data collaboration, and broken down barriers across Countries/Governments/Institutions in fighting a common enemy. It has also focused attention on sustainable health services.
