I think playing cricket taught me more about working in teams and leadership that has stayed with me throughout my career.

Like anyone else, a lot of what I do and how I think has been shaped by my family and my overall life experience. Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things. So family, curiosity and hunger for knowledge all define me.

You’re trying to take something that can be described in many, many sentences and pages of prose, but you can convert it into a couple lines of poetry and you still get the essence, so it’s that compression. The best code is poetry.

One of the key things in the tech business in particular is that you need to be able to push boundaries.

The way I measure my life is 'Am I better than I was last year?'

Every time you think all the technology that had been created already, all you have to do is look around and then there's someone new who's born with a new idea.

If you are going to have a risk-taking culture, you can't really look at every failure as a failure, you've got to be able to look at the failure as a learning opportunity.
