Our guest this week has had an inspiring growth journey over the years with key leadership lessons along the way. Sam Prudhomme is the president of Accelevation's data centre business unit. Prior to joining Accelevation, Sam was the president of Instor solutions and was responsible for the overall strategy and execution for the company. Sam is a dynamic leader with a reputation of assembling and directing sales and operations teams, increasing profitability, creating customer-centric go-to-market strategies, cultivating cohesive workforces, and growing global brands. He started his career in commercial construction and moved to the telecom industry where he held a field operations role during the 4G evolution. He then transitioned to the data centre industry in 2010 where he held senior sales roles designing and implementing data centre power systems and supporting critical facility infrastructure. After more than half a decade designing, selling and constructing critical facility infrastructure he joined the Subzero Engineering, where he would become the VP of sales and marketing. He helped build Subzero's global sales team and launched multiple product families to help the brand respond to the massive demand increase and evolving use of data centre containment. During his tenure Sam curated Subzero's initiative to correlate the use of its products to the industry's drive towards carbon-neutral operations. A concept now considered common place.

LongShorts - Banter on All Things Business, Finance, and People
We speak with Harsh Bhuta, Partner at Bhuta Shah & Co. LLP, a Mumbai-based premier Chartered Accountant and Law firm, which deals closely in audit, taxation, advisory and corporate finance. Harsh shares his insights on the way cryptocurrency regulation - in particular, taxation - is taking shape in India. As a seasoned tax consultant, he breaks down the new rules and implications for Indian crypto investors as the country takes a (supposedly) accommodative approach towards regulating this enormously popular asset class. Despite commending its merits, Harsh is rather circumspect and feels that the framework is currently very tight, out-of-touch with global precedents and would not be conducive to attracting institutional volumes - unless regulations evolve fast enough. Will India miss the bus? Listen in for an enlightening conversation.

This podcast brings you highlights from the panel session Addressing and Eradicating Harassment, Discrimination and Retaliation Against Senior Executives – What Role can Executives Play to Drive Change? at the International Conference on Risk, Reward and Reputation Management Issues for Senior Executives and Founders on 4 February 2020. Leading experts, from the US, Ireland and UK, discuss the key legal and tactical issues for senior executives to consider when addressing workplace harassment and discrimination, including the extent to which senior executives – particularly female executives – can or should use their seniority and status to create change for everyone in an organisation, by speaking up against unacceptable behaviours. Panel moderator Anna Birtwistle (Farrer & Co LLP, UK) and panellists Helen Calcraft (Lucky Generals, UK), Kelly M. Dermody (Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP, USA), Claire Dawson (CC Solicitors, Ireland), and Jennifer Millins (Mishcon de Reya LLP, UK) discuss the following: 1. Collective power in combating workplace harassment and discrimination- through industry groups, class action claims or social media groups; 2. Is a zero tolerance approach always necessary? Reflecting on when it may be appropriate to consider alternatives; 3. Different legal remedies in other jurisdictions: How class action claims in the USA have made redress accessible to large numbers of employees; and 4. Bridging the divide: The power of social media enabling employees to share information and challenge inequality. For further information on any of the issues discussed in this podcast, please contact us at: info@cm-murray.com.
