David Sproul, CEO of Deloitte UK, shares his key take-aways from the panel "Agents of change: What role should business leaders play in driving positive social, economic and environmental change?"
David Sproul and Kate Collins join James Ashton to discuss humanising tough decisions, being elected as leader, retaining a maverick spirit and making staff talk in the lift. David Sproul is senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte, one of the Big Four accounting firms that offers a multitude of services to companies including audit, tax, deals advice and consulting. Coming to the end of his time in charge, Sproul has increased sales eight years running, but is among leaders who have failed to dispel concerns over audit quality and conflicts of interest in the profession. Sproul joined Arthur Andersen’s tax division in 1984 and negotiated the sale of the UK practice to Deloitte when the American firm was heading for collapse because of its involvement with scandal-hit energy trader Enron. Kate Collins is chief executive of Teenage Cancer Trust, a trailblazing charity which has funded 28 specialist units in hospitals across the UK to care for young people diagnosed with cancer. It raised £16m last year, helped as usual by a string of sell out gigs staged at the Royal Albert Hall. Collins joined the charity a decade ago to develop a regional fundraising programme and became chief executive in 2018. Earlier in her career she worked at Children in Need and Cancer Research UK.
