Introducing the Culture Podcast: Conversations That Matter 

By June Sarpong & Erica Bourne

We’re thrilled to introduce Culture Conversations, our new podcast and video series exploring the intersection of culture, leadership and high performance.

Launching Monday 2 February, we’re joined by David Schwimmer, LSEG CEO, for our first episode, where the three of us engage in an in‑depth conversation about the cultural transformation shaping LSEG. Together, we reflect on the bold decisions, cultural shifts and long‑term vision driving the transformation of LSEG, a global leader in financial markets, data and analytics.

This podcast is born out of a shared belief: that culture isn’t a buzzword — it’s the heartbeat of high‑performing organisations. As leaders, we’ve seen how inclusive, values‑driven environments unlock creativity, resilience and long‑term success. But we also know that culture is intentional. It’s shaped by the choices we make, the stories we tell and the behaviours we reward.

In each episode, we speak to trailblazers across industries — from CEOs and creatives to changemakers and culture builders — who are redefining what leadership looks like in today’s world. Upcoming guests include:

  • Sung‑Joo Kim, Founder and CEO of Sungjoo Group and Chairperson and CEO of MCM Worldwide
  • Rafal Brzoska, Founder and CEO of InPost S.A.
  • Dame Amanda Blanc, CEO of Aviva Group

Together, we’re unpacking the habits, mindsets and pivotal moments that shape high‑performance cultures. We’re asking the hard questions, sharing honest reflections and spotlighting the voices and visionaries driving meaningful change.

Why are we doing this? Because we believe culture is the most powerful lever for transformation. We believe in championing bold disruptors who are willing to challenge the status quo, and we’ve seen that performance thrives when people feel connected to something bigger than themselves. That’s why this work matters to us.

Follow, share and join the conversation.
