50: Lord Jim O'Neill – Calling it right: the power of prediction
With the motto to ‘always try your best’, Lord O’Neill gives an insight into his journey – from the sliding doors moment that led to his career as an economist, to taking on a passion for tackling superbugs – as well as perspectives on the emerging economies of today, serving as a minister in government (and why it wasn’t for him), his sporting heroes, and the power of scientific collaboration to bring a better future. He says: “The speed of vaccine development makes me think that if you get the right attention on a topic, the power of technology and science, and determination, we can crack all sorts of problems.”
