Alasdair McGregor
Consultant
Having studied chemistry at Oriel College, Oxford and written my thesis on how the development of electrical technology impacted society in the nineteenth century, I was torn between two highly relevant careers: infantry officer or management consultant. The safety of our islands is all the greater for my choice of Andersen Consulting, where I started in January 1999.
I have worked across a number of sectors – consumer goods and services, travel and transport, retail, banking and telecoms – and in companies ranging from major multinationals to dot-com start-ups. My specialisation is in helping companies through major change programmes, often focusing on the human challenge, although I have turned my hand to IT delivery projects as well. I joined Berkeley in early 2008.
Outside work, I am married to Charlotte and personal interests are constrained by our rather boisterous children Rory and Hector. When I get the chance I am kept busy by involvement in a church charity in the City, drinking good English beer and following the Scotland rugby team from one triumph to another.
