We’ve got a really exciting evening planned for July’s Esc Wednesday.
NB: In the spirit of doing something different this Esc Wed is being held on a Thursday!
THURSDAY 7th JULY – UPSTAIRS at THE YORKSHIRE GRAY – Gray’s Inn Road. London. (VENUE CORRECTION).
Our special guest is Tom Rippin.
Tom is an ex-McKinsey management consultant who kept the ‘I’ll only do this for a few years and then go and do something else’ promise. Read his Esc Hero interview here.
What he decided to do instead was to start a really exciting social enterprise leadership programme called On Purpose. On Purpose provides a structured way for the next generation of high-fliers to get into the growing social enterprise sector.
Tom will be accompanied by an On Purpose Fellow: Harriet Barclay who, after 5 years at AMV BBDO, embarked on the On Purpose programme last year and is now Head of O2 Learn and current On Purpose Associates: Stephanie Denamps and Ann Walker (ex P&G and Booz & Company).
