During the episode, Neill speaks with host Martin Foster (Applied Sport Management Lead) to talk about how his career at global business giants EY (formerly known as Ernst & Young) and Microsoft helped him climb the ladder and land one of sports’ most coveted roles.
Neill, who graduated from the University with a Sports Science and Maths degree in 2006, also discusses the power – and potential pitfalls – of networking, how luck can play a role in creating job opportunities, the importance of work/life balance, and how having a clear career vision is vital for success.
After six successful years, Neill has now moved on from his role at CFG and among other ventures plans to use his skills and knowledge to promote finance education through sport.
