CURRENT WORK
"The recent "Selling Skills for Non-Sales Professionals" was excellent, only complaint was that it was too short - next time let's make it three days instead of two."
Q. "How can this training be improved?"
A. "Can't find more... quite perfect!"
December 2007.
“I've participated to several strategy workshops leaded by Hamish. Each time, it was a great success in terms of deliverables and people commitment & follow up. Hamish has the power to understand quickly team issues, barriers that prevent us to reach our goals etc.., and to provide efficient solutions. Hamish is highly passionated, highly challenging and a great team builder, he leads people to deliver the best of themselves naturally. I've really enjoyed our collaborations so far and I am sure we will have some more on the future.”

PAST WORK
"Hamish worked wonders for Quest whilst servicing P&G - the growth he generated in the business between the two companies was remarkable, and it was all down to his drive, focus and excellence in execution" former VP, Global Purchasing at Procter & Gamble.
"Hamish is a real change agent who is very aware of the latest business models and has a great ability to create very enthusiastic teams and to generate win-win situations that transcend functional and company barriers. He is very energetic, enthusiastic and with an ability to understand others before wanting to be understood. A real fine colleague to work with!” current R&D Director at Procter & Gamble .
"I worked with Hamish on a number of projects during 1993 -1997. He is very easy to work with, determined to deliver and brings a very high intellectual ability. I have no hesitation in recommending Hamish for whatever new project he is being asked to deliver.” former Technical Director at Unilever.
"I worked with Hamish to bring new fragrance ideas to the laundry category for Unilever on a worldwide basis from 1996-1999. He pro-actively developed new concept ideas and helped sell them into local markets. The fragrances developed to support these were of high quality and tested well. I would not hesitate to hire Hamish again.” former Global Category Director at Unilever.
“Hamish is a talented leader and coach with high energy and passion for his work. He combines strong, broad based international business skills with an exceptional ability to understand organisations, develop people and motivate teamwork. It is no surprise that he delivers results consistently, usually in a shorter time frame than expected.”
“If there is someone who genuinely believes in the spirit of teamwork, it is Hamish. Hamish continually guided me to push the boundaries of functional excellence and challenged me to apply this in my work and with my colleagues. He has taught me through his mentorship that teamwork requires not just being a leader but also being a listener and a follower. The impact is such that this learning is still with me today.”
“Hamish's great success in this role was directly linked to his ability to harness the collective talents of a disparate and geographically diverse team. While he possesses a natural flair for business and a sharp analytical mind, he is also an anthropologist at heart. He is drawn to the nuances of people, cultures and languages, and he understands how these elements can enhance team performance.”
“Hamish is a true leader who possesses the ability to not only identify “big picture” strategies but also implement plans to deliver on and achieve those strategies (end results). He is tenacious and will not give up on something he believes in, no matter how daunting. In fact, Hamish readily takes on challenges and uncovers additional opportunities that may arise during the process. Years of experience in the corporate global arena enables Hamish to successfully manage teams across continents. His enthusiastic “will do” presence serves to instill motivation and he is one leader who truly leads through example.”
“Hamish is energetic and creative but results orientated. He is always very fast and responsive with practical proposals that address the issue rather than what the client might wish to hear. He is a clear and compelling comminicator who connects very effectively with diverse business cultures. I would strongly recommend Hamish to anyone who needs a constructive, challenging or creative external intervention.”
“I spent several years at Quest working with Hamish as a colleague on the Fragrance Leadership team. Hamish is one of the best International Account directors that I have worked with and I have learned a great deal from him. He offered a fantastic blend of intellectual rigour, tenacity and multicultural acumen and his results are testimony to this. I have watched Hamish develop his consultancy practice over the last couple of years with interest and it is clearly going from strength to strength. This is no surprise given what he has to offer clients and I am sure he will continue to add significant value in future.”
