Kevin recently established Esprit de Corps Consulting having retired from BMW after 32 years, during which he held a number of interesting roles that culminated with him being the Managing Director of BMW Group Ireland. His focus for this next phase of his career will be on non-executive directorships, consulting in the automotive sector and coaching. In our conversation we talk about his early years in Scotland. He was born in Edinburgh and spent his first 21 years in Stirling with his family. Kevin shares how he started his career on a Graduate programme with the Bank of Scotland before joining Lloyds Bowmaker to move into automotive finance. When BMW acquired the share capital, Kevin chose to move south and join BMW Financial Services marking the beginning of a very rewarding journey with the brand. We explore the moves he made and the experiences that he collected along the way which along with his all important network ultimately equipped him to run the business in Ireland during some particularly challenging years. I enjoyed getting to know Kevin through his story. I'm pleased to share it with you and I look forward to hearing what resonates with you.
