We are very pleased to announce that Jeremy Hillman, Director of External Communications at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and a former BBC journalist, will join the Inspired Leadership Award (ILA) committee.

Before leading the Gates foundation’s global external communications team, Hillman ran the BBC’s Business and Economics Department at a time when the broadcaster won numerous awards for the depth and quality of its business coverage. He worked as a journalist for over 17 years living in Washington, New York, Brussels, Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as covering events in the MiddleEast.
Hillman will make a valuable contribution to the ILA committee. Other members are:

• Geoff Colvin (chair), Senior Editor-at-Large, FORTUNE Magazine

• Sven Mollekleiv, President, Norwegian Red Cross and Director, Corporate Relations and CSR, Det Norske Veritas

Each year since 2006, the Performance Theatre Foundation has bestowed the Inspired Leadership Award upon a global business pioneer – an exemplary leader who is helping to steer the world to a better future. Read more about previous recipients here.
