Blair Crichton was four years old when his parents helped him understand the connection between the meat on his plate and the animals it was derived from. Horrified, he put down his fork and refused to eat meat. That was 31 years ago, and today the Hong Kong-born banker turned entrepreneur is co-founder of Asia’s first whole-plant meat company, Karana. From junior school at Kellett School, he went to boarding school in Australia, where it was more challenging to not eat meat. He resumed his vegetarian diet at Durham University in the UK where he did an undergraduate degree in politics, philosophy and economics and wrote a paper on the moral value of animals. After graduation, he joined the international management programme of HSBC, a global bank, which took him to Shanghai, back to Hong Kong and then to the United States. In 2016, after six years with HSBC, he turned his thoughts to business school. At about this time he saw the documentary Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret, … [Read more...] about Asian comfort food next for plant-based meat entrepreneur who is putting his beliefs into practice

"Nothing can make me bitter in life. Whatever you do, it's your choice, you have no right to have envy. Am I right?" Malaysian-born Choo is reflecting, in his typically enigmatic way, on the feud that took place with his Jimmy Choo Ltd co-founder, Tamara Mellon, that culminated in his exiting his eponymous business 16 years ago. When Mellon and Choo first started … [Read more...] about In his shoes: The secret to Jimmy Choo’s success

While the deal ended speculation about Hamilton's short-term future, it also raised questions about what would happen beyond the end of 2021. Hamilton commented he had "no real need necessarily to plan too far ahead in the future", preferring the flexibility of a one-year deal. "I just wanted one year," he said. "Then we can talk about if we do more and keep adding [to] it if we have to." Team principal Wolff explained Hamilton's unusually short deal doesn't raise doubts about his long-term commitment to the sport but instead gives the 35-year-old the flexibility his career deserves. "No, no doubt about his commitment," Wolff said. "First of all, he enjoys racing a lot. We enjoy working with … [Read more...] about Mercedes has “no doubts” on Hamilton’s F1 commitment
