Podcast: Former FTSE 150 company CEO and International Rally Co-driver – Robbie Philpott (#19)

Robbie Philpott was the CEO of a FTSE 150 company which had close to 17,000 employees. He is also a double Irish Rally Champion Co-Driver who competed professionally throughout the world.

Robbie and I started out as navigators in rally cars at roughly the same time in the late 70s in Northern Ireland. We ended up taking very different paths in life, although both of us have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly over the years.

In this show, Robbie tells us that a lot of the knowledge, skills and attitude he used to build multi-national businesses, were the same as those he used in his co-driving achievements and vice versa.

It’s a fascinating listen and proves that a lot of life’s competencies can be interchangeable.

Enjoy the show.
