For those of you with companies interested in the US market, we are running a cross-sectoral masterclass which will focus on the challenges (and opportunities) of doing business with large corporations on Wednesday 6^th February from 10.00am – 11.00am.

John Fox recently joined the GlobalScot network in 2018 after a long and successful career with Johnson & Johnson, with the majority spent in Pharmaceuticals. John was Group CIO for Pharmaceuticals for 9 years and led a team of over 1000 professionals supporting all areas of the business from Discovery Research to Commercial including all administrative functions. Following that he was J&J Vice President of the Global Payroll; covering payroll operations in over 80 countries. As such he has extensive cross-sector experience in areas as varied as clinical research, animal health, IT, finance and back office operations of a multi-national corporation that in 2017 had a revenue of $74.65bn.

The masterclass will be based on John’s personal experience and will focus on:

• Corporate culture
• How to pitch to US based business
• What differentiates a technological innovation: what is the USP?
• Understanding how to navigate the corporate structure to find key decision leaders
• Open Innovation strategies

The masterclass will be held in Edinburgh, at Scottish Enterprise, Apex House 1, 99 Haymarket Terrace, EH12 5HD.
