ijgolding

Over the last 22 years, I have worked in and with businesses of all shapes and sizes, across multiple industries, all around the world. I secured my very first full-time job in the financial services industry in 1995. Among others, I was interviewed by the company chairman and the managing director. At the time, as a naïve young man entering the workplace for the first time, I had no comprehension as to how significant it was to be interviewed by the two most senior people in the business.

Michelli Experience

You might say I am on a “trust” kick. In last week’s blog , I highlighted a US decline in social trust (a precipitous drop of 46% points from 1964 to 2016).
