If experiences shape who we are, then James Berwick, the chief executive of Congo-Brazzaville-focused Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG), is constantly evolving.
Born and raised in Sheffield, in the English county of South Yorkshire, Berwick was always eager for more adventures than he could get close to home.
Somewhat unconventionally, he left school at 16 and chose to follow a very different path than that of his father, who worked for a tool company, or his mother, who was a nurse.
