Royal Conservatoire of Scotland appoints ‘Entrepreneur in Residence’

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has appointed Scottish business leader MARK LOGAN as entrepreneur in residence.

Logan has almost 30 years’ senior and executive leadership experience in the tech industry and is the former chief operating officer of Skyscanner.

He is also a former chief entrepreneurial advisor to the Scottish government.

He will join RCS’s first entrepreneur in residence, RACHAEL ARNOLD, lead adviser in the institution’s Creative Enterprise Development Office (CEDO).
 
Logan said: “Scotland’s creative industries hold immense economic potential, but their impact is often overlooked because they’re not seen as traditional business clusters like technology or finance.
 
“Recognising and supporting this creative and performance supercluster could bring significant value for Glasgow and Scotland, ensuring students and graduates have the resources they need to innovate.”

RCS principal JEFFREY SHARKEY added: “Mark’s expertise will be invaluable, ensuring that students and graduates have the knowledge, networks and opportunities to build sustainable careers.

“Glasgow’s creative and performance supercluster is a powerful economic and cultural force, and we’re looking forward to working with Mark to explore its potential.”
