Bob Bradley has held General Manager, Managing Director and CEO roles in six different organisations. He's also guided corporate transformation projects and led hypergrowth division for a top consultancy.
He's revitalised slowing revenues in mid-sized companies, led AIM-listed and family-owned businesses, and navigated post-merger integrations.
His experience extends beyond operations. He's served on 21 boards – commercial and not-for-profit – and even created and chaired trusts, including an employee ownership structure.
But perhaps what he values most is the time spent engaging with fellow leaders. He's facilitated over 800 meetings and had confidential discussions with over 300 business leaders, and even arranged over 500 workshops with over 200 different speakers. These conversations, these shared experiences, have provided invaluable insights into the real-world challenges leaders face.
He's now semi-retired from operational leadership and is passionate about sharing these insights.
I was delighted to have Bob join me recently to create this Side Mirror episode on Sailing in Stormy Waters : Survive and thrive in a difficult economic environment.
