Pact’s Dawn McCarthy-Simpson MBE to Retire in October
Managing Director of Business Development & Global Strategy, Dawn McCarthy-Simpson MBE will be retiring at the end of October after 16 years at the organisation.
“Dawn has been the lynch pin of our international work over the past 16 years and has been to MIP so many times she could call Cannes her second home.
“Working closely with Dawn has been a pleasure as she has always focussed on the needs, ambitions and dreams of Pact members helping them to grow their businesses and have fun doing it.”
Vacancy for Head of International and Projects
Rather than replacing Dawn’s role directly, it will be split into three, with Pact’s Head of Nations and Regions – Chris Curley – and Pact’s Project Manager – Aimee Shimmin – already in place. Therefore, Pact is looking for a Head of International and Projects to join the Pact team. The role will report directly to CEO John McVay and will be based out of either the London or Leeds office and will involve working with members across the UK to help them develop their export potential and discover new business opportunities across key territories.
The full job description can be found here and the closing date for applications is 9th June 2023.
Dawn McCarthy-Simpson added: “‘I have had an amazing 16 years with my Pact family and it has given me the opportunity to get to know so many talented individuals. John has been a mentor throughout, he gave me freedom to explore new and innovative ways to help our members, which in turn has helped me to grow and develop as an individual. But now is the time to hang up my industry boots and enjoy all of the things I never had time to do whilst working.”
