By Kristy Dorsey Sandy Kennedy, the chief executive of Entrepreneurial Scotland since its formation in 2014, is to stand down later this year as part of a planned succession that was delayed by the Covid pandemic. In a briefing to stakeholders, Entrepreneurial Scotland chairman Colin Robertson said the group will be recruiting from within its senior team for a replacement. The aim is to have a new chief executive in post by this summer, with Mr Kennedy to leave after a three-month handover period. The succession plan has been under discussion since 2019, but was put on hold through the pandemic “to enable 100 per cent focus on the organisation’s future”. An independent charity, the group runs a variety of programmes to promote entrepreneurial skills across business, government and higher education.
