Rajeev Suri, Inmarsat

In episode 8 Andrew talks to ‘turnaround specialist’ Rajeev Suri, CEO of leading satellite provider Inmarsat, about successfully riding the waves of change.

“You don’t get people to join you these days, or stay with you, if you don’t have a purpose that resonates with them, that is above and beyond just focusing on profits. Focus on purpose, remember why you exist, and what impact you make on your industry and society.”

Born in India and raised in Kuwait, for 25 years Rajeev Suri worked for Nokia, and made his name as the CEO who reinvented the company following the sale of its handset business.

Two years ago he was appointed CEO of the global satellite communications company Inmarsat, where he has been focusing on growing the company, its core purpose, and leading the way in the sector on carbon neutrality.

His experience in the telecoms industry, which was one of the first to face wave after wave of intense change, provides key insights for leaders dealing with flux in the business world today.

During his conversation with Andrew, Rajeev shares his leadership lessons, including the importance of building belief, being brave and pushing harder.

Featuring:

Dr Andrew White, Senior Fellow of Management Practice, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
