Q&A with Pete Markey, Chief Communications & Marketing Officer, University of Nottingham
In our latest Q&A, Suzie was joined by Pete Markey, Chief Communications & Marketing Officer at the University of Nottingham and one of the UK’s most respected marketing leaders. Drawing on CMO roles at Boots UK, TSB Bank, the Post Office and RSA, Pete shares what he believes makes a phenomenal marketing leader.
His advice is refreshingly clear: stay curious, keep learning, understand what’s coming next and develop a perspective before you’re asked for one. Whether it’s AI, commercial challenges or the next wave of innovation, great leaders are constantly looking ahead.
That mindset has been fundamental throughout his career, alongside being commercially minded, understanding the wider business, communicating with confidence and surrounding yourself with people who challenge and keep you fresh.
We hope you enjoy this thoughtful and insightful conversation as much as we did.
