Since refocusing his attention on his own health and fitness (and dropping 30kg!) Hugh rediscovered his energy and built a culture that runs (literally) on wellbeing.
His big realisation?
Making time for your health + fitness doesn’t slow the business down.
It supercharges it.
🏃 Valto Run Club now takes 10+ people out every Thursday
⛰️ They’ve just hiked all 15 Welsh 3000s in under 24 hours for charity
💬 And some of the most honest business conversations now happen mid-jog, not in boardrooms
And it’s led to clear, measureable results for the business... ➡️ Stress is lower
➡️ Retention is up
➡️ Performance is stronger
➡️ And the business has scaled to 50+ people with a genuine culture of care

If you're a founder, leader, or future CEO in the Microsoft space...
