A Leeds man has charted his journey from a "poverty-stricken council estate" in the city to working for some of the biggest companies in the world.

Jonathan recalls being handed flyers for the National Front and being spat on by supporters as he left school in the seventies. They left him, the only Black child in his year at school, "a terrified little boy". Jonathan went to see a careers adviser, and after chatting, she told him "Jonathan, I can see it now; you were born to become a great marketer". He swapped some of his finance modules to study marketing and advertising, and finally found what he wanted to do.

He ran many successful marketing campaigns at both these companies and was ranked eighth on Forbes' list of the Worlds Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers in 2017. Later that year, he left Airbnb to found his own marketing consultancy firm - TwentyFirstCenturyBrand. "I would have known that I belonged. Nonetheless, when I look back on my life, I still always have a tremendous sense of pride. I made it all the way to the top of my industry and now I do my part to ensure that it is a fairer and more inclusive place for women and minorities."
