Small talk with Glo

Glo’s been at Amigo for 2 ½ years. Time has gone like the click of a finger.  

When you’re spending that amount of time together it can be tricky to see the bigger picture. But when you take a step back and look from the outside in and click your fingers again, you can see how far Amigo have grown and a lot of that is down to Glo.  

You can’t grow a business without people, but both deserve equal care. And finding the right balance comes from a mix of years of talent and experience. Glo spent 20 years working her way through the world of accounts. A journey that led her from Project Management to becoming Business Director at McCann. Two years after, Glo became Project Delivery Lead for WPP in North-Western Europe.   

In the same way as business and people, the balance of talent and experience doesn’t come from work. Glo is a big believer in travel, seeing different cultures, culinary worlds and has a true interest in human psyche. It’s given Glo a real understanding of people and the arts. Every experience has led to her bettering herself and in turn the agency. On a side note: It also means that Glo is an incredible chef, so for anyone who has the pleasure of going round for dinner, get ready for Michelin style service. That’s not even overselling it! 

In the last 2 years, Amigo Partnership has doubled in size, taken on bigger projects and has produced more and more amazing work. This all starts from the top down and Glo has been one of the driving forces, here’s to many more years of time flying by. 

Let’s hear from Glo herself.

 
Upon learning how much food goes to waste daily, Bottura and his wife set up the charity community kitchen, Food for Soul to raise awareness and challenge conventions of food waste, using perfectly good food from supermarkets and hospitality outlets which would’ve normally gone to the food tips, to feed those in need. 

Food for Soul has since evolved to a cultural program which includes art, music, design, and architecture collaborators, joining forces to build community spaces where locals are invited to volunteer and/or connect around a meal, to demonstrate the value and potential of people, places, and food and encourage the community served to support social change.  

And during the COVID-19 pandemic, Food for Soul Refettorios continued to work and support those most in need and the charity managed to deliver 100,000 meals to people in vulnerable situations and frontline health workers.
