Jonathan Valentine

Jonathan is a chief marketing officer with extensive experience in building business value...from SMEs to multinationals...who is passionate about the importance of maintaining a close fit between personal ‘purpose’ and that of your business/role...and, as a result, in waking each day and looking forward to it.

After over 30 years in marketing/sales/strategy/consultancy, predominantly in senior roles with Visa, more recently as CMO with payments tech leader Dovetail, and most recently with Fiserv, he has now realigned to ensure a closer fit with his personal purpose. 

Jonathan sees his move into supporting businesses in aligning their purpose with the multiplicity of sustainability challenges and opportunities as completing a lengthy ‘full-circle’- having started out with a Geography degree at Cambridge University. He not only sees the ‘big picture’ of the sustainability challenge that we all face, but also the key role that businesses can play in driving the required transformational changes and the opportunities that are there for purpose aligned businesses.

So, after completing the Business Sustainability Leadership course with Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)  and co-founding the Sustaineers community/network and the Sustaineers Consultants, he has been helping businesses to realign and to build value with all their stakeholders based on the delivery of pragmatic purpose led plans.

He is also, once again, waking each day and looking forward to it!
