Behind The Narrative

In this episode of Behind the Narrative, Katharine Spence is joined by Rupert Soames OBE, former CEO of Aggreko and Serco, former President of the CBI, and one of Britain's most experienced business leaders, to explore what it takes to lead organisations through periods of crisis and change.

Reflecting on a career spent turning around businesses and rebuilding trust, Rupert shares his approach to leadership, the importance of strategy and honest communication, the evolving role of boards and why he believes AI is still in its "tiger cub" stage - with enormous potential for business if used well.

What is Behind The Narrative?

What happens behind the headlines when business leaders face their biggest moments? This groundbreaking podcast series from H/Advisors uncovers the real stories behind corporate narratives.
Hosted by renowned UK business journalist Ian King alongside H/Advisors Partner and former Sky News correspondent Katharine Spence, Behind the Narrative takes you inside the minds of international business leaders during their most defining moments.

In intimate 30-40 minute conversations, guests reveal the decision-making processes behind major announcements, crisis situations, and moments of intense public scrutiny. Why did they choose that particular message? What were they really thinking when the cameras rolled? How did they navigate the pressure? Plus, you'll discover surprising sides of these business figures that they've never shared before - the moments, quirks, and stories that make them human.

This isn't your typical corporate interview. King and Spence create a relaxed, non-combative environment where business leaders can share their authentic perspectives on the moments that shaped their careers and companies.

From brand executives to global CEOs, each episode explores the human side of business leadership across all sectors and levels of senior management.

New episodes available periodically throughout the year.
