Gary said,“ Returning to Salocin Group is a rare opportunity to come back to a place that feels familiar, but with a fresh sense of purpose and possibility. I’ m excited to help shape an advisory model that isn’ t just theoretical – one that gets implemented, tested, and optimised in-market. With our brilliant teams and fantastic clients, I believe we can truly differentiate by delivering not just smart thinking, but meaningful outcomes.”
Gary’ s remit includes structuring and scaling the Group’ s consulting practice, building repeatable methodologies and mentoring a blended team of experienced consultants and new talent. His focus areas will span data strategy, AI enablement, sales and marketing technology, and privacyfirst customer experience.
Nick Dixon, CEO of Salocin Group, said,“ We’ re absolutely delighted to welcome Gary back to the Salocin Group. His blend of strategic vision and practical delivery is exactly what we need as we expand our advisory offering. Gary knows this business, understands our clients, and brings with him a proven track record of helping organisations translate insight into impact. His leadership will play a key role in the next phase of our growth.”
