Thornhill's journey, which began as a graduate trainee at the FT, has seen him report on the market economy in Russia during the tumultuous 1990s and serve as the Asia Editor for the FT. His early experiences writing about UK companies and understanding how the market economy works proved invaluable when he moved to Moscow in 1994, a time of significant economic transformation in Russia.

The conversation concludes with Thornhill's reflections on the importance of travel and the enriching perspectives it offers. He considers London his home, but values the insights gained from seeing his own world from the outside. Thornhill also shares advice for aspiring journalists, emphasising the importance of curiosity, determination to uncover the truth, and the ability to use and understand technological tools.
