Leadership Announcement from the Board

We are pleased to announce, on behalf of Sabine Vinck, Chair and the board, that Simon Fenton has been appointed as the permanent CEO of Meyler Campbell. Simon has already made a great impact in his time as interim CEO, and as Sabine highlights, he brings “a collaborative nature, energy and infectious enthusiasm – born of a belief in the power of coaching to change the fortunes of individuals and organisations.” With his wealth of leadership experience and deep commitment to the coaching community, Simon is exceptionally well placed to guide Meyler Campbell into its next chapter.

Sabine also announced that Spencer Stuart has completed its acquisition of Meyler Campbell, reflecting its commitment to the coaching network and the opportunity to align capabilities for greater client impact. With Simon’s leadership and Spencer Stuart’s investment, Meyler Campbell enters an exciting new chapter focused on growth, collaboration, and continued excellence in leadership development.
