One Question

Joining the dots between people and profit, CEO of Octopus Money, Ruth Handcock answers One Question.

One Question Season 5 Episode 9

CEO of Octopus Money, Ruth Handcock, joins Sarah to explore how we lead today through the lens of financial services.

Part of the Octopus Group, which includes Octopus Energy and investments, Octopus Money is democratising financial understanding to create an economically stronger society, one day at a time.

A B-corp with a long-term mission, Ruth explores how the values of the business impact her leadership, the dotted line between culture and profitability, the importance of diversity of thought in our companies, and owning what we are getting wrong, to the idea of machines as a metaphor for organisations—by understanding the machine, we get to change it—to how we encourage more financial investment in female-led businesses and uncertainty as opportunity.

This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on how we can build businesses in 2025 and another perspective on what it really means to lead in partnership with Headland.
