THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

hi, off the clock now

There’s more to Sam than models and metrics.

Away from the data, he cooks, travels, reads, trains and plays on whichever court will have him. The same habits show up in both places: patience, curiosity and a pull towards people.

Show up. Stay curious. Learn from people. Leave room for joy.

play

Gaming

When it’s time to switch off, it’s Call of Duty or a game of pool. Quick thinking and a steady hand, just in a different arena.

03 / SPORTS AND CONNECTION

On whichever court will have him.

Soccer and basketball are his main sports. He also plays volleyball, badminton and tennis, and cycling and running give him space to reset on his own. For Sam it’s about the movement, the challenge and the people that come with it.
