Gary Corbett

Colombia

I am a consultant for SME Skills Academy, based in Colombia.

 

I'm originally from England but have been living here in Latin America for over twenty years.  Sí, yo hablo español!

​

I joined SME Skills Academy to have the freedom and opportunity to use my knowledge and experience of business management to help small business ventures in Colombia succeed.

​

I work with small and medium-sized businesses, applying the proven SME Skills sales systems to increase sales and achieve sustainable growth.

​

My background as a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and a Project Manager Professional (PMI) and over 10 years' experience of running medium-sized businesses with direct responsibility for sales, P&L, business performance and growth give me unique perspectives on business that help to elevate the insights I provide to my clients.

​

I  also have a PhD in engineering and was formerly a lecturer at Aberdeen University, where I taught the Safety Engineering and Risk Management master’s programme. Currently, I'm studying for an MBA at the London School of Business and Finance.
