About this episode

Jon Lewis is CEO at consulting, transformation and digital services business Capita. Previously he was the CEO of Amec Foster Wheeler, and before that he had a 20-year career at Halliburton where he held a number of senior roles.

In this episode, Jon explains why he’s always been passionate about meritocracy – why we in the UK need to start focussing more on potential instead of formal qualifications. He tells us how he’s fostered a strong, purpose-led culture in Capita since his arrival in 2017, and how this has become the company’s “north star” of how they operate. And he even offers invaluable advice for new CEOs too.
