Johnian Society Virtual Talk: Interview with Sir Graham Wrigley (1982)
The Johnian Society is delighted to continue to host virtual interviews with alumni in 2022. Guests may participate in the event for as long or short a time as they like, staying just for the interview or also engaging in friendly conversation with fellow alumni during the Q&A session.
In this interview Sir Graham Wrigley (1982) will speak with Zip Jila (2002) about his career in private equity and international development. Graham read Economics and Law at St John’s. He was one of the founding partners and members of the management board of Permira, and Chairman of CDC, the UK government’s private sector development arm.
Zip Jila read Law at St John’s College as an undergraduate, and since then has worked in areas of cross-border and domestic financial restructuring, workouts and insolvency. In 2018 she took up her current position as General Counsel of a hedge fund which focuses on special situations. A former President of the Winfield Society, Zip is an active alumna of the Faculty of Law.

Find a quiet, private space
It’s important to find a quiet space to listen to the talk in order not to be disruptive to others while your microphone is on.
Always mute your microphone if you’re not speaking
This ensures you enter the talk quietly and that any background noises that could be distracting to the speaker and other participants are now inaudible. To ‘mute’ yourself, click the ‘Mute’ button (a microphone symbol). A red slash will appear over the microphone icon indicating that your audio is now off.
Raise your hand
During the Q&A session, click on the icon labelled ‘Participants’ at the bottom centre of your PC or Mac screen. At the bottom of the window on the right side of the screen, click the button labelled ‘Raise Hand’. Your digital hand is now raised, and the moderator will tell you when it’s your turn to ask your question.
