KATIE GREENYER
For this episode, I’m excited to announce that my guest is Katie Greenyer, Creative Director of Pentland Brands.
Pentland Brands is the name behind some of the world’s best sports, outdoor and lifestyle brands. They own Speedo, Berghaus, Endura, Ellesse, Red or Dead and Mitre to name just a few!
This series has a little twist on the ones so far and contains four podcasts all based around a topic surrounding perception. This episode focuses on the power of mentoring and giving back.
Perception is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something. Through her humble nature, Katie was able to acknowledge her own mentors and in doing so has selflessly dedicated a large portion of her career to sharing her expertise with others - she really is a true inspiration!
She’s the kind of individual who will enter a room and light it up. She’ll make everyone around her feel as though they are important, and her energy is truly infectious to be around. Hand on heart, I have to say that anyone who has spent time in her presence is lucky. I’m in awe of not only her achievements but also her outlook too. I can honestly say that I feel lucky to call her a mentor and that she has inspired me to fight for what I want to do in my career. I just hope that I can learn from her nature and give back in the same way that she does.
This series aims to spread awareness about a charity that is close to the heart of each guest. As a trustee, Katie has decided to raise awareness for the National Saturday Club. An independent charity that gives 13–16-year-olds across the country the opportunity to study subjects they love at their local university, college or cultural institution, for free. Over the past ten years, this powerful national movement has engaged with more than 8,000 young people across the United Kingdom. The aim is to develop young people’s skills, nurture their talents and encourage their creativity.
