Another new addition to the QED team arrived this month, so a big welcome to Scott Pearson. Scott arrives from Aviva, the world’s 5th largest insurance company. Where he has held several roles over the years across the country and overseas that utilized his 13 years experience in operational learning & development. His latest project was the culture change and re-brand that saw Norwich Union evolve into Aviva, a project that impacted 8000 leaders across the organisation.
Outside the office Scott loves his music and sport, often going to sporting events and gigs across the country. He does follow one team, but refuses to share who it is, for fear of reprisal.
