Being a Leader of Leaders with Chris Sherwood, CEO of the RSPCA
Episode 7 and the final show in our first season of The Charity Leaders Podcasts, we were delighted to welcome the leader of the largest charity so far, Chris Sherwood, CEO of the RSPCA. The RSPCA does not need any introduction but maybe some people are not aware of how historical significant it is.Chris has been in the charity sector for his whole career and knew from an early age this was the route for him - maybe that’s why he became a CEO aged 34 and at just 37 was put in charge of the oldest animal charity in the world. Chris is an incredibly humble man, he has achieved amazing success at such a young age but is so focused on the next leaders in both his own charity but in the sector as a while, it is truly inspiring to talk to him and I’m confident everyone will take a lot from our chat with him.You can find out more about the organisation and get involved here:www.rspca.org.uk/rescuexmasThanks so much to everyone that has helped make this podcast an absolute joy to produce.
