Judy Wagner

Judy has been actively involved in executive search for over 20 years, recruiting at Senior Management and Board level – both Exec and NonExec. A co-founder of FWB Park Brown, one of Scotland’s leading Executive Search firms, she has recruited across all sectors and functional areas, and advised many clients on Board composition and evaluation. She has been a Chair and Non-Executive Director in the Private and Not for Profit sectors, and coached throughout her career on career development, interviewing, presentation, networking and communication, including a significant amount of public speaking in these areas. A graduate of The University of Edinburgh and a member of ICAS, she sits on the Centre for Strategic Leadership of The University of Edinburgh Business School, the Advisory Board of Kelvin Capital, the Campaign Board of The Quaich Project set up to oversee the regeneration of Princes Street Gardens West, and advises the Enterprise Fellowships for The Royal Society of Edinburgh. In 2016 Judy developed and launched The Executive Women’s Leadership Programme with Professor Susan Murphy of The University of Edinburgh Business School. The programme, which is very practically focused, helps women progress into Board positions. It includes a combination of academic insight and learning, group-based case study and debate, together with Guest Speakers from the Boards of Corporate UK who share their knowledge and experiences in informal and open discussions with the delegates.
