Will McInnes
Managing Director
I spread ideas through speaking and writing with the end goal of making the world better. Written a book called Culture Shock about progressive business. Dad. Eater, drinker, changer, thinker.
I believe we can change the world. I believe in us: real people. I believe in the power of the interconnected humanity that we call social media, and our ability through those tools and technologies to make huge differences. I believe that everything is changing - Education, Politics, Business, Law, the Environment of course - and that all we need to do is pick a problem and start working on it *together*.
I believe in different approaches to business, but having walked that talk for a few years I know how hard doing things differently is. But we really try at NixonMcInnes.
Day-to-day I am the MD here which means I have to ensure our business is developing and growing in order to provide the very best services and people to our visionary clients: a varied and rewarding role. Some of what I do is frontline spending time with our people and clients, and some is more strategic and harder to spot from the outside.
I founded NixonMcInnes with Tom Nixon - you can read that story here.
I love...
Love action, curry, mountain biking, camping, rugby France and most of all my family.
I hate...
Unfairness, idiocy, bad customer service and apathy at the state of the world.
