I'm driven by the challenge of making professional communities more engaged, more valuable, and more commercially sustainable.Outside work I'm an outdoor enthusiast — and increasingly focused on introducing my young family to the Scottish hills.Key competencies: Member engagement and retention, stakeholder relationship management, community development, partnership and sponsorship strategy, programme and content development, P&L ownership, commercial growth, public speaking, senior stakeholder facilitation, financial services sector expertise.
