Leadership Interview Series: Robin Rowland

Robin Rowland – Chairman of Rosa’s Thai, Pho, Thunderbird, Mowgli 

We speak to industry Legend Robin Rowland about his UK / European and American hospitality investments and NED roles. 

One of the great things about Robin is his insight, 30 years at the top of the sector growing and expanding businesses and brands. 

We talk about industry trends, leadership styles, entrepreneurs as well as his career journey, motivations and what drives him. 

We also have a great chat on failure and the lessons to take away. 

As a Board Member of UK Hospitality he gives some great insight on what is needed to make future hospitality leaders and what the government can do to better support businesses in the sector. 

A great session to listen to!
