Professor Binna Kandola OBE Named Most Influential Thinker 2026 by HR Magazine

We are incredibly proud to announce that our Co-founder and Senior Partner, Professor Binna Kandola OBE, has been named Most Influential Thinker 2026 by HR magazine.
HR Most Influential is an annual list celebrating the most influential players in the field of people strategy. These are the people whose ideas and actions are shaping practices in HR, both in the UK and globally.
This is a hugely deserved recognition of Binna’s extraordinary contribution to the fields of psychology, diversity, inclusion and workplace fairness.
Throughout his career, he has challenged organisations to look beyond intention and confront the systems, assumptions and unconscious biases that hold people back.
Binna’s thinking has helped shape how leaders, HR professionals and organisations around the world understand fairness at work. His work has never been about following trends or offering easy answers; it has been about creating meaningful, lasting change and ensuring that talent, opportunity and potential are recognised in everyone.
We are delighted to see his influence recognised in this way.
