Mocky Khan, Chair, Chartered Marketer, FCIM
I feel very privileged to be taking over as GLR Chair. The Institute is going through some exciting times and I believe that with my commercial experience, my understanding of marketing and my familiarity with The Institute, I can help move plans forward and also develop resources for members in the Greater London Region. My key aim as Chair will be to engage and interact with members – from students to board level marketers – by making The Institute a key partner as they progress up the career ladder. I also want to strengthen relationships with businesses of all sizes in the Region – as well as with other trade and professional bodies. I believe that all institutes like ours can learn from each other for the benefit of members. To make GLR the premier region, I ask for continued support from a great Board and contribution from all GLR members. Please feel free to get in touch and send me your ideas and opinions on what your Institute should be doing for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
