Spotlight on Alastair Young

We are pleased to announce that Alastair Young is joining PSFI as a Principal Consultant.

Alastair is an executive coach focusing on the subject of leadership, in particular resilient leadership, and the creation and leadership of high performing teams. He has extensive leadership experience in multi-cultural and multi-geographical locations.

Beginning his career in the British Army, Alastair went on to qualify as a barrister where he practiced as a member of the Independent Bar for eleven years specialising initially in criminal law and latterly commercial law.

Alastair’s most recent role was as the Regional Managing Partner of the Dentons’ Middle East business and as a member of the Dentons’ UKIME LLP Executive Committee. In this role, he was responsible for the leadership and management of the Middle East business across nine offices and seven countries whilst interacting with the Firm’s leadership at an LLP and Global level. He handled both the design and delivery of the Middle East business’s strategy and the delivery of both the annual budgeted revenue and profit, in addition to the management and leadership of all the legal and business services professionals employed across the nine offices.

As a coach, Alastair works with executives and leaders in order to allow them to maximise their impact in a way that is most effective for them personally, as well as for those with whom they work. His approach ensures that, whilst demanding, the coaching experience is fun.

Alastair is aware of and adept at navigating cultural perspectives, particularly across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In international companies he finds solutions and prepares the groundwork to allow cultural differences to be understood and built into any solution. He has considerable experience in building and nurturing high performance teams and in particular bringing talent through to leadership roles.

We look forward to introducing you to Alastair soon!
