Behind The Narrative

In this episode of Behind the Narrative, hosts Katherine Spence and Ian King are joined by Sir Ronnie Cohen, a man who has fundamentally reshaped the intersection of business and social change. As the co-founder of Apax Partners, one of the world's leading private equity firms, Sir Ronnie’s legacy extends far beyond the boardroom into the realms of global philanthropy and social innovation.

The conversation delves into the core of Sir Ronnie’s vision: Impact Investing. He discusses the evolution of this field over the past 25 years, moving from a nascent idea to a $30 trillion ESG market and a trillion-dollar sustainability-linked debt market. Sir Ronnie argues that for capitalism to survive the environmental and social challenges of the 21st century, the economic system must transition from prioritising profit alone to valuing social, political and ecological impact alongside profit. Tune if to find out how entrepreneurship and investment can be harnessed to create a fairer, more stable world.

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.
