Alex Maister

I have lived in the UK most of my life. I’ve spent most of my life working in marketing and been involved in filmmaking at various stages. I have worked on corporate videos; produced a small animation series in Thailand with my wife; been credited as a producer on two independent German films; and played around with directing in the early 2000s. I started to take scriptwriting seriously when I took the UCLA writing for television course in 2017-18 (online) and have written several spec screenplays since. Over the past few years, I have published two fantasy books. All my creative writing carries a strong theme that involves marginalised characters.

Sheila O'Flanagan

As you can see, a Dubliner all my life. My parents owned a grocery shop in the Iveagh Markets, in the Liberties area of the city and I guess city blood runs through my veins.

As a child I enjoyed reading and telling stories and everyone thought that I end up in a job which had something to do with books and literature. But though I applied for a job in the library all of the job offers I got were in commerce.

I turned down lots of them before my mother accepted one for me (I was on holiday at the time). It was in the Central Bank of Ireland and that’s how my career in financial services began.

I started out in administration and then moved jobs until finally I was working as a dealer in a commercial bank. Eventually I was promoted to Chief Dea

Simon Hayes

My career spans finance, executive search and consultancy. Investment banking took me from my hometown London to Boston, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Headhunting took me back to Japan, then, as head of a leading Financial Services practice, into the City of London’s most exclusive boardrooms. Mixing with “the great and the good” —Chairmen and CEOs of major public companies, Governors of the Bank of England, senior politicians and the like—my job was to work out what made them tick. Not just “Are they really any good?” but, “Are they trustworthy?” I wrote Zero Ri$k whilst creating the rubriqs people skills system, and spent much of 2023 in Zimbabwe on a major fraud case.

I had the fundamental idea for Zero Ri$k a decade or so ago. I was frustrated b
