A week ago I handed in my Blackberry, my Dell and exited the corporate MR world. 11 years is a long time with one business but continued changes of owners and mergers ensured there was always new people, new tools and new opportunities. Alistair Gordon for me captured best the experience of working within a large MR company in his post on catching up with the big boys (and no, it is not typical for researchers to compare working for their company to working in a lolly shop). I worked with a wide range of amazing people over the last decade, as well as the privilege of working with local teams in cities ranging from Manila, to Shanghai to Cairo to Argentina.
Now I am ready to try a different pace, and a different direction. “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” ~Peter Drucker
