Rob Hook - Credence Consultant

Rob Hook - Principal Consultant

Following an energetic and challenging career as an officer in the British Army, I worked at Board level in various service and manufacturing companies, including Gillette.

Experience is one thing, having the knowledge to support it is sometimes quite a different thing. I have gained additional qualifications by earning an MBA from the University of Bath, a Diploma in Marketing and am a full member of the Marketing Society.

I now help clients to win and then maximise long term profitable income streams by developing strategic and tactical marketing initiatives.

Summary of Experience

  • Led a pan European cultural change programme following an acquisition
  • Designed and implemented a corporate rebranding programme internationally
  • Designing leadership development programmes based around the development of the vision statement
  • Designing and delivering management and leadership development programmes
  • Appraising and mentoring senior executives in their leadership and management roles.
  • Conducting company wide reviews to assess the senior managements fitness for role and their competency to grow the company

Finally, I channel some of my excess energy into running half marathons and raising money for worthy causes.

I am also the Business CoPilot! It is a bit of fun that describes how I work. Go here to see my profile www.thebusinesscopilot.com
