  • What a difference a year makes...

    2009 flashed by in the blink of an eye for me. I don’t think I’ve ever had a year go by so quickly. This was the year I took part in the fellowship programme. In spring 2008, I received an e-mail from Talent Scotland telling me about this...

  • All alone.....

    The Fellows of 2009 will know that I do like my own space.... One of the things the Fellowship year drills down upon is 'what makes you tick' and what kind of person you are. I like space and time to process. This is good to know as a leader....

  • The Saltire Experience......

    Two years ago, I was searching for my next career move. I had seven valuable years of experience working in global engineering companies BAE Systems and Mott MacDonald. I knew I wanted the challenge of setting up and growing a small company but I did...

  • Life after the Fellowship

    After spending the first 4 months of 2009 at Babson, and then the summer in the centre of Silicon Valley, it's been great being back in Scotland over the last 6 months. For the second Externship I joined an Edinburgh University research project looking...

  • The third step...

    Taking the first step was deciding to leave my job and do something else, way back in 2008. The second step was getting a place and completing my year on the Saltire Fellowship programme. The third step..? Ensuring the motivation for taking the first...

  • Saltire Fellowship - The Sequel

    I'm really excited that the Saltire Foundation is now recruiting the next cohort for the Fellowship programme, and it's really interesting to hear about some of the changes that have been made to the arrangements for the next group! Hearing about...

  • Peet's in Palo Alto

    Feels a little strange to back in the USA. But it's a good strange - it's so nice to be back. While on the fellowship last year, I travelled to florida - fulfilling a lifelong ambition to go see the space shuttle at Kennedy space centre and to...

  • Back in the USA

    I recall this time last year. A few of the Fellows went to a nice bar, had some great food and watched the SuperBowl. It's that time of year again and I am back here. Only this time, I am working. Having spent 3 months with ShawCor in Texas at Shaw...

  • As the dust settles...

    The dust has settled on the Charter class of the Saltire Foundation Fellowship, and all 14 of us are now back to real life. Plans to recruit the next cohort of Fellows are already coming together, so I thought it was about time I posted an update to say...

  • And a Happy New Year...

    Just think, almost 1-year ago it was as cold as it is right here in Scotland when the Fellow's hit Boston on the 10-Jan 2009. It's been an amazing year, so here's to yet another amazing year - All the very best everyone for 2010.... "It's...

  • Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all at the Saltire Foundation, the Fellows and the Undergrads......!!!!

  • Totus tuus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt

    To anyone is is not a scholar of Latin, the text simply means: "I am all Yours, and all that I have belongs to You." Simple words indeed - yet words with so much meaning in today's world. Today marks my first day of "official"...

  • Entrepreneurial Exchange Dinner

    It's been a busy week. Up and down to Aberdeen and meeting lots of new people in the energy sector within Scotland. The highlight of the week though has to be attending the Entrepreneurial Exchange Dinner at the Hilton in Glasgow. The Saltire Foundation...

  • Brightwork

    I've heard the business slogan - People, Processes and Tools. And d'ya know what? I think I understand what the originator of this statement meant now. At first, it appears as just another MBA piece of jargon: a soundbite. I've used it on...

  • Company Growth - Why its good to fail

    If you ask any executive to list the top five moments their career took a leap forward — not just a step, but a leap — failure is always on the list. For some it was the loss of a job. For others it was a project gone horribly wrong. And for...
