In episode 7, Oxbridge founder Matt Jones speaks with business leader Geoff Cousins, best known for his roles as Managing Director at Jaguar UK (the UK's largest car manufacturer) and Chief Financial Officer at Jaguar Land Rover North America.

Geoff has already had an incredible career and continues to be on the leading edge, sitting in crucial roles such as Chairman of Cure Leukaemia and Chairman of G&P Group Holdings Ltd, a global, full-service quality management provider. If this wasn't enough, Geoff is also Managing Director of GCA Partners, an SME growth consultancy and a Visiting Professor of Global Governance for the University of South Wales.

This is the quintessential story of social mobility, and in this "no holes barred" podcast, we also talk about how he nearly got fired by one of the most powerful people at Ford.

This episode is filled with career advice, overcoming setbacks, and an insight into the mindset of a great leader.
 
P.S. Geoff is riding from London to Paris alongside 135 people to raise money for Cure Leukaemia. Did you know... 38,000 people are diagnosed with a form of blood cancer every year – that is a staggering one person every 14 minutes.
