Common Purpose UK CEO Adirupa Sengupta reflects on 2012

24 December 2012

This is the end of my first year as CEO of Common Purpose in the UK. It has been a long year!

Keeping focused as the UK has struggled, delivering our courses which seem ever more relevant as we continue our efforts to connect leaders locally and nationally across UK cities and taking advantage of the growth of Common Purpose internationally to forge new links for the UK around the world.

It's incredibly exciting that in my first year as CEO of the UK, we successfully launched two new Ventures - Dao Xiang (between London and Shanghai) and Itijah (between cities of the Arab world and cities of Europe) in addition to Dishaa (between India and the UK) - to link leaders in the UK with leaders in other countries. I am truly delighted with the continued support of Prime Minister David Cameron as Patron of Dishaa and Mayor Boris Johnson as Advisory Group Member of Dao Xiang.

All this could not have been possible without the help of our alumni, Advisory Groups and supporters giving us your valuable time to speak and contribute on our courses. Thank you very much, and all of us at Common Purpose UK look forward to working with you in 2013.

Adi
