How it started
During lockdown of 2020, we saw a gap in the Scottish market for a podcast that highlighted the leaders of the country. The Leaders in Business podcast was born out of a need to share the stories behind the name sand voices that were keeping the country going.
Following institutional changes within the Institute of Directors Scotland, the opportunity to bring the podcast back was born in the spring of 2023. Our Founder, Marlene Lowe, is one of the podcast hosts and takes great pleasure in speaking with thought leaders, trailblazers and people with stunning stories to share.

“Marlene is the epitome of the podcast professional! I was quite clear when we started that I wanted our Leaders in Business podcast to be more conversational than interview, and Marlene got exactly the tone I was looking for. Always prepared and able to put our guests at ease, every episode that we record is fun and engaging. I’m very grateful to be able to work with Marlene to make these happen.”
