René Carayol is an associate of Cass, a former Non-Executive Director of the Inland Revenue, chair of Leaders in London and author of Corporate Voodoo. He now fronts BBC2‘s flagship personal turnaround project. René argues that markets are too fast moving for one person to get it right all the time: leadership is not an individual pursuit, it‘s about learning and leading together.
René has served as an advisor to the CBI, McKinsey and PA Consulting. He has worked with Barclays at board level and on the ground in Africa. He has chaired Sunday Times Business Week and Leaders in London, and spoken at conferences in the retail, financial, technology and energy sectors.
His presentations focus on transformation and leadership - often addressing uncomfortable questions. How do you change risk-averse processes that are ill-suited to global markets? How do you replace fear and complacency with resolve? Looking at the dangers of holding on too tightly to the past, René shakes up and inspires audiences, showing them what lies within their grasp.
