Kurt Henderson is a polymath. Before Kurt landed at the B-Corps certified company Byway Travel he was an entrepreneur, starting his first venture while at school. He began studying architectural technology at Brighton University but switched to digital media and design, a move he describes as "one of the best decisions I've ever made."
Now he's a senior product designer at Byway, which coordinates 100% flight-free options for customers who want to travel sustainably and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
A year into working for Byway Kurt talks about the company's sustainable, ethical approach to travelling and working within a company culture that is respectful and inclusive. He goes on to talk about about "tech for good" and "it's important to give back while you are still growing yourself."
But there's so much more to Kurt besides work and true to the 'giving back' ethos Kurt serves on the advisory board of ERIC, and guest lectures at Brighton University. He has been involved in youth businesses schemes and he advocates for diversity practices and policies. To unwind he plays tag rugby and basketball and music is still a big thing in his life.
