Joshua O’Connor sits down with Graham Levinsohn, a seasoned business leader and the current CEO and Chairman of Sureserve Group. Graham offers a deep dive into his remarkable career journey, from his roots in Newcastle to leading a global workforce of 65,000 at G4S.
In this episode, Graham shares invaluable insights on:

- The Private Equity World: He explains what a CEO of a private equity-backed business actually does, highlighting the key differences between working in a private versus a public company, particularly in terms of timeline and shareholder relationships.
- Building A-Caliber Teams: Graham provides a fascinating perspective on leadership, stressing the importance of building a team of “A-players” and moving beyond the need to be the sole expert. He believes a true leader’s job is to be the conductor of the orchestra, not the master of every instrument.
- The Power of Values: Learn how personal and company values act as a guiding light, helping leaders make the right decisions during difficult times.
