Peter Russian to step down as chief executive of Remarkable

Peter Russian and Bonnie Clarke

Peter Russian is to leave his role as chief executive of Remarkable after more than 15 years.

Russian oversaw the organisation’s rebrand last year from Investors in People Scotland to Remarkable to reflect its expanding role in promoting better management across bodies.

He is taking up a new role in the US in partnership with David Marquet and the Turn the Ship Around organisation, where he will help grow a global advice business based on the unique approach of Intent-Based Leadership.

The chair and the Board of Remarkable sincerely thanked Peter for his many achievements in this time.

Linda Urquhart, chair of Remarkable, said: “On behalf of the Board, the staff and all of our stakeholders, I offer Peter my sincerest thanks for his tireless efforts over the last 15 years. Much has been achieved: market growth and penetration for the Investors in People accreditation, the development and launch of the Investors in Young People accreditation in partnership with the Scottish Government, our rebrand to become Remarkable and of course the launch of our Intent-Based Leadership offering.

“Peter has contributed hugely to the leadership and organisation development sector here in Scotland and we wish him every success for the future.”

Peter Russian said: “It has been my absolute pleasure to work with the Remarkable team over the last 15 years. We have made organisations happier, healthier and better places to be. This achievement is down to all the colleagues I have worked with over the years, without whose support Remarkable would not be the organisation it is today.”

Bonnie Clarke, currently Remarkable’s client relationship director, will assume leadership of Remarkable as interim chief executive when Peter leaves on November 2.

The organisation is currently recruiting a new chair to replace Linda Urquhart who is stepping down after seven years in the role; and once the chair role is fulfilled at the turn of the year the search for a permanent chief executive will begin.
