Innovation Facilitator
After leaving Cambridge University, Grant embarked upon a career in Advertising as a planner with Lowe and WCRS, and decided to follow his passion for ideas, people and creative problem solving by joining the SIT team. Naturally, Grant has handled many of the marketing communication projects and was privileged to work with many agency teams and marketers in the rapidly emerging markets of Eastern Europe, India, and Kazakhstan.
Marketing communications and branding often play a crucial role in innovation projects, so Grant’s expertise is well sought after. He has worked on innovation projects with organizations such as Bayer, Heinz, BP, Kraft, Grupo Bolivar, and Unilever – on such diverse challenges as asset utilization, new product development, manufacturing productivity, brand strategy, and business process innovation.
When he isn’t at work or playing his Taylor guitar, Grant can be found with his traveling band of dancers, artists, and musicians – otherwise known as the Harris family. Grant has an MA Cantab in Oriental Studies from Cambridge University and is not planning on doing an MBA anytime soon.
