Lansons announces the promotion of Scott McKenzie from director and head of change & employee engagement to joint managing director.

He joins existing joint managing directors Laura Hastings, Rebecca Mayo and Stuart Graham; recognising his significant contribution to Lansons and the continuing diversification of the consultancy.

McKenzie joined Lansons as a board director in December 2012, and was promoted to the management board in November last year. Since joining the consultancy and establishing the change & employee engagement practice, he has helped broaden the scope of Lansons’ work and its expansion into new sectors including healthcare and manufacturing.

Tony Langham, chief executive of Lansons, says, "Scott’s contribution to our business to date, and to shaping our integrated consultancy offering is considerable. He's also won us some cracking clients.

“Scott is a widely respected and talented consultant, and this promotion recognises his role in the future success of our business. This relies on building our fantastic portfolio of retainer clients and also attracting an increasing number of significant higher value projects.”

Scott McKenzie adds, “Our work on a range of high profile change and corporate issues projects has enabled us to provide genuinely integrated advice and consultancy to some major clients, and the knock on effect has been that we’re increasingly diverse in terms of the organisations we work with, and with the skills we have in the building. “I’m delighted to accept the role and look forward to working with the other MDs and the rest of my colleagues to further develop Lansons’ offering for clients.”

Before joining Lansons, Scott was head of change and internal communications at Hill & Knowlton. He has also held various roles at Royal Bank of Scotland Group, including heading up the internal and external communications for the Private Banking business.
