How do you manage the pressure of being in the hot seat, day in day out?

Viv speaks to Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief of The Guardian since 2015, when she became the first woman to hold the position in the newspaper’s 194-year history. Under her leadership, the paper has created a successful strategy of reader funding and become an increasingly international business, with Viner overseeing a staff of over 1500 globally.

Katharine tells Viv how she encourages people to speak up in meetings; how she handles being in the spotlight; and what it was like to collaborate with the late Alan Rickman.
