Hi, I’m Lara Brockie

I have over 25 years industry experience, working with entrepreneurs, small businesses and some of the largest companies in the world, and I understand what it is like to have to worry about running your business as well as working in your business.

My project experience ranges from large-scale multi-million pound international projects to small startups and solo entrepreneurs. I also have significant experience in managing third-party contractors and remote project teams.

I started my career as a software engineer for AT&T after graduating from Dundee University.  I then spent 9 years as an IT Consultant in London, specialising in the Telecommunications and Financial Services industries. For 6 of those years, I was a Senior Consultant with Hewlett-Packard.

I established Lara Brockie Consulting Limited in 2005, providing Change and Project Management services to international financial services institutions across the UK and Europe.

I qualified as a Certified Professional Coach in 2010 and built my own coaching business in 2015 while also learning the principles of online marketing. I enjoyed this work so much that I became professionally trained in online marketing and have since been successful in helping other businesses with their online marketing.

I’m a techie at heart –  and have a B.Sc, Postgraduate Diploma, and a Masters Degree in Computer Science. I also have a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management, which was part of the Henley Corporate MBA.

Other qualifications include:

• Certified Direct Response Copywriter
• Certified Content Marketing Specialist
• Certified Email Marketing Specialist
• Certified Customer Value Optimization Specialist
• Certified Professional Coach
• Certified Prince2 Practitioner
• Certified ITIL V3 Expert
• HP Consulting Award for Excellence in Knowledge Management
