Founded in 2016 by Lucie Basch and Mette Lykke, \u2018Too Good to Go\u2019 has become the world's largest B2C marketplace for surplus food - with over 1000 employees in 16 different countries. In the seventh episode of our second series, we have the privilege of speaking with their Head of People and Culture, David Palliser.
\n
\nHaving trained originally as an actor, David has successfully transferred his incredible people skills and empathetic nature into his current role. Helping to solve \u201cpeople puzzles\u201d for managers and being the first person that potential recruits will meet, he prides himself on being able to put himself in the shoes of others.
\n
\nAs it becomes increasingly important to us that our work lives are in harmony with our personal beliefs, David takes us through how his own values have aligned with the company's. Part of this is the \u201cpassion for the mission\u201d - not only for himself, but for all new employees. He also talks about why titles don\u2019t matter, but that collaboration and being a team player is at the core of the culture he is helping to cultivate.
