In this episode of The EY CEO Outlook podcast, ICON CEO Steve Cutler tells host Richard Curran the story of ICON’s rise from Irish start-up to global leader in a challenging and competitive field, and his role in that journey. A former Australian rugby international, Cutler sees many similarities between playing on the pitch and leading a contract research organisation  (both are competitive “contact sports”), and he describes how his former career has influenced the style and success of his leadership approach.
