Tuesday Dec 13, 2022
Tuesday Dec 13, 2022
How much do we trust the people making our phones, our computers, our social networks? And is there a wider question of not just the companies themselves but who's running them and where they're based? That's what we're finding out this time on Sideload where we uncover new global data on the topic.
Our guests are:
Sanjay Nair, Edelman’s Global Technology Chair
Margot Edelman, Deputy General Manager, Edelman New York
Tonia Ries, Executive Director of Intellectual Property, Edelman Trust Institute
Nicole Dorsa, Executive Vice President, Edelman San Francisco

In this Edelman Editions podcast, Jeremy Lucas, Managing Director, Corporate Reputation at Edelman launches our new Leaders in Action series. This series will feature leaders from some of the world’s biggest businesses and brands to understand how they drive trust through action, examining the ways organisations can be additive to the world around them and the opportunity businesses have to serve society.
To kick off the new series, we’re joined by Vincent Belloc, Managing Director and Vice President of PayPal in the UK. Vincent has led the UK PayPal business for over two years now, having a spent almost a decade at the e-commerce and tech giant.
Our 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer found that people want more business leadership, not less. 49% of the 1,150 people surveyed across the UK trust business to do what is right, compared to 42% for government, and 35% for media.
The results are unequivocal: the British public expect companies to go further and dig deeper. They need to do more than simply transact with the world. They need to go beyond just selling products or services. They need to constantly demonstrate value and benefit they provide to the communities in which they operate.
In this episode, Jeremy and Vincent discuss what motivates and inspires him, as Vincent gives insights into his career and what drives him as a leader.
