SSON: Who do you look up to in business and why?
Chris Gunning: My former boss and mentor, Thomas McGlinn, who passionately lived and breathed Shared Services right from the beginning in mid 1990s, embracing young and youthful cultures around the world, and always looking to challenge the norm. A true risk junkie and tight-rope-walker! The man brought out inspiration in me at all times, which is why I am still working in this fascinating industry today!
