Benjamin Mee, Risk-Taking Zoo Director

Here is an interview with Benjamin Mee, owner and director of the Dartmoor Zoological Park and author of 'We Bought a Zoo’, the autobiographical book that was adapted by film director Cameron Crowe into a motion picture featuring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson.

We trust that you will find here an interesting example of an organization led by a fully invested risk-taker focusing on opportunities, but who also knows what his key risks are and how to manage them.
