Self-Belief, Leadership and Life After ‘CEO’

Until recently, Rob Pierre was CEO of Jellyfish, the major digital media agency he co-founded over 18 years ago - a role which made him one of the UK’s most successful media leaders. In 2021 he was voted Media Week's Media Leader of the Year to recognise his achievements. Now, having stepped down, we reflect on life without the CEO title, leadership, confidence and his tool for avoiding self doubt. If you’ve listened to Tiger Therapy before, you’ll know that at the end of each episode, I ask guests to nominate someone they think is brilliant to come on the podcast. Joanna Flint, Chief Commercial Officer at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, suggested Rob. Here’s what she said about him: “What I love about Rob is his storytelling, his authenticity and his belief. He’s a really interesting individual with a global perspective to talk about how to build an incredibly successful business through grit, determination, and being a really good man.”
