Backing Better: Part 3

Last month, our Principal Consultant Gerri Ward shared the second instalment in her ‘Backing Better’ series of interviews with young sustainability thought leaders who are making a real, tangible positive difference in tackling climate change, where she talked with Finn Ross – founder of the Climate Action Company, climate scientist, author, activist, and ocean-lover.

This time Gerri chats with Cairo Akehurst: Futurist, CEO and Founder of Space-Agri-Tech company Cattle Credit, winner of the Inaugural Prime Minister’s Space Prize…..and Year 13 student at Cashmere High School.

To say Cairo is an extraordinary young person would be a masterclass in understatement. Have a pen ready for all the inspiring quotes in this incredible 10-min chat.

 “Passion is what’s going to drive you forward, but you shouldn’t expect that to carry you every step of the way. To achieve something massive you really need relentless grit. The overall vision is what you’re working towards, but it’s the grit that makes sure you actually get there.” – Cairo Akehurst
