Every week we dig into the memory bank of The city is big and good. Today, Mike Sleightholme, Chairman of S&P 500 fintech Broadridge International, takes us through his career

What was your first job?

There have been so many over the years, but my very first job was actually a newspaper round. Sundays were the hardest – those papers were heavy and the bag I used had this strap that dug into my shoulder like it was made of wire!

What was your first role at the City?

My first role in the City was as an intern at Legal & General, where I interned for a year. I had the chance to be part of a team responsible for setting up a new department: the Middle Office. It was a great introduction to the industry. I had to learn fast and I gained an incredible amount of knowledge in a short time.

When did you know you wanted a career at the City?

I wasn’t one of those people whose career was planned from the start. I kind of fell into it to be honest. I knew I wanted a job that would challenge me and allow me to continue learning. I loved the fast pace of the industry, the interesting people I met, the constant opportunities for growth, and the chance to travel. I spent two incredible decades working in countries like Hong Kong and the United States. It was only two years ago that I returned to the City and I feel like I’ve come full circle.

What is the thing you love about the City of London?

History – there is so much to learn around every corner. Every street and every building has its own story. As you walk around, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a timeline of British history, from medieval guilds to the financial hub it is today.

And one thing you would change?

Definitely the weather! London is such a vibrant city and I always think it would be great if we had more sunny days to enjoy it.

What is your most memorable job interview?

The most memorable interview I had was actually the one that set the course for my career. It was for a position at Citiover 30 years ago. I was beyond nervous before entering, but oddly enough, once inside the building, I felt better. I got the job and that interview ended up launching a 24-year career at Citi, which led me to many different roles and opportunities around the world.

What about business missteps?

Oh, I’ve had quite a few incidents over the years, but one of them happened during a client meeting. Wrong location must be up there. The meeting was supposed to take place in The City, but I ended up in Canary Wharf.

What was your proudest moment?

Without a doubt, my proudest moment was opening new markets for the care industry in Asia. We were the first to settle a cross-border A-share transaction in China. I also had the opportunity to help open markets in countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh, which was equally exciting and rewarding. Each new market brought its own challenges and opportunities.

And who do you admire?

Our family dog ​​– she has the BEST life!

Are you optimistic for the year ahead?

Yes, I am very optimistic for the coming year. Of course, there will always be challenges, whether it’s economic uncertainty or adapting to new regulations, but I feel like the pace of innovation is creating many new opportunities, especially with the rise of new technologies. There is great potential for businesses to scale, become more efficient and reach new markets. I think we are on the cusp of some exciting transformations and I can’t wait to see how things evolve.

We go to lunch and you choose – where do we go?

Chipotle!

How about a drink after work?

I would say, let’s go to Shades of ancient wine. It’s one of those classic London pubs that has lots of character, although sadly there seem to be fewer of them than when I moved to Hong Kong 20 years ago.

Where is home during the week?

Esher, Surrey.

And where could we find you on the weekend?

On the weekends you will probably find me either driving the kids to their various activities, riding my bike, or to the golf course if I can get in a round.

You have two well-deserved weeks off. Where are you going and with whom?

I would take the family sailing in the Caribbean. It’s the perfect way to relax and spend quality time together, away from the usual distractions.

Rapid fire:

  • Favorite book: golden finger
  • Favorite movie: The good, the bad and the ugly
  • Favorite artist/musician: U2, although I became a bit of a closet Swiftie, thanks to my daughters. Seeing The Boss in New Jersey was also a highlight.
  • Favorite place in London: Wembley Stadium is truly impressive. We just need to win something there!
  • Cocktail order: Vodka martini with olives
