Carl Taylor

Approach

Carl’s expertise reflects his well-established business acumen in the areas of business strategy and planning, competitor and collaborator analysis, organization development, executive coaching, and leadership development programmes.

Experience

Having qualified first as a microbiologist and then as a psychologist, Carl’s early career spanned research in marine microbiology with Shell Research, corporate strategic planning with Shell International and new ventures development with Shell UK.

Industry experience

From his foundation of internal consultancy within the Shell Group of Companies, Carl moved to independent consulting in 1990.  Since then he has provided consultancy, coaching and training services to an extensive client list that includes Earls Court and Olympia, Hays PLC, The Royal Brompton NHS Trust, Kent Aerospace, Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, New Look, The Pearson Group, Reuters, South East Trains, Transport for London, Virgin Atlantic and Viridian Biotechnology.

In addition to his consultancy and management development work, Carl has held non-executive Directorships with an international manufacturing firm and a national housing association. He is currently a school governor.

On the ‘lighter’ side, Carl occasionally lectures in psychology and runs Personal Development weekends.  This reflects his long-standing interest in developing the potential of others.  He also sails - usually around the relatively tame UK shores, but once dodging icebergs in a stormy North Atlantic crossing!
