Founder, Chair & Alchemist

Alan Branagh

Alan Branagh, founder and chair of The Alchemists Circle

Alan protects the equality, confidentiality and usefulness of the room.

Alan chairs the conversation so that no one voice dominates and every member can contribute as an equal.

He listens carefully, asks the questions others may miss and connects patterns across the room. He protects confidentiality, encourages honest challenge and leaves ownership of every decision with the person who must act on it.

He brings over 40 years of international commercial experience, chairing confidential groups for owners, CEOs and MDs of privately held small and medium-sized companies, and has worked across corporate strategy, sales, mergers and acquisitions, leadership development and culture with organisations including Avis Europe, GSK, Accenture, BT, Bank of Ireland, Reuters, Panasonic Avionics, PWC, the LEGO Group and Invest NI.

Alan has chaired the Academy for Chief Executives NI, ROI & Scotland, holds an MSc in Coaching and Organisational Development, and is a member of the Institute of Directors.

"Explore Beyond Boundaries, Reveal Hidden Possibilities, Connect Hearts and Minds, Fulfil Life's Purpose."
