WMG has appointed Sue Parr as its Business Development Director to develop the Professional and Executive Programmes.

Sue, who joined WMG in December, brings a wealth of knowledge with her, after 12 years at the Open University where she was Director of Executive Education. It was there that she successfully created and developed a division responsible for delivering customised solutions for private and public sector organisations from SMEs to global businesses. She also developed an impressive portfolio of innovative online and blended programmes.

Prior to the Open University, Sue spent many years working with organisations in management learning and development, also coaching middle and senior managers in a range of organisations. Sue began her career in publishing, holding senior management and board roles in international companies. She later ran a small business creating e-learning courses, some of which were award winning, for organisations.

Sue is a University of Warwick alumni, graduating with a degree in English and European Literature, and she also studied at Henley School of Management and Aberdeen Business School.

Sue comments: “I’m delighted to be joining the team at WMG and returning to Warwick. I’m looking forward to using my expertise to enhance the growing reputation of WMG’s Professional and Executive Programmes.”
