Day in the life

Mark Foster, managing director of music streaming site Deezer’s, talks to Vincent Ryan about his working day, from waking the children to going to gigs

MORNING

Unless I’m making a ridiculously early start to take the Eurostar to Deezer’s head office in Paris, or a plane to a crammed day of meetings in Dublin’s fair city (which I never have enough time to hang out and enjoy, by the way) I get up at 6.30am or so. I make sure the kids, who are perfectly capable of responding to their own alarms on their mobiles, actually do start moving their limbs in time to make their train, bus or lift to school. Then I can concentrate on getting to the office in west London, handily located within minutes of all four majors, and quite a few indie labels.
