About Karen Glason

My entire career has been in L&D with a focus on leadership development. In recent years I’ve been supporting the growth of the London Revenue Collective, developing the community, membership offering and events programme.
Unlike Gavin and Tom, I’m not a revenue leader. My background is in leadership & community development.

Although most of my experience has been in larger organisations like Clarks and Orange/EE, I’ve learnt a lot about the extreme highs and lows of SaaS scale-ups through Tom over the years.

Funnily enough, Tom and I met at work in our first job out of university 17 years ago. We worked for a small graduate recruitment company and made such a great team that after 9 months were offered our own branch.

I guess you should never say never as in July 2018 we started the London Revenue Collective together which has been incredibly successful and inspired us to start Scalewise last March.

My role at Scalewise is to onboard exceptional revenue leaders and help them to become excellent coaches.
What’s the highlight of your career?

Scalewise is the highlight of my career. I’m loving the opportunity to build the business from scratch and utilise my experience in recruitment, leadership development and community building. It’s also very rewarding to work with such talented and motivated Scale Experts

What’s the number one piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Embrace vulnerability. This isn’t natural for me so this advice has really helped when I feel nervous or uncomfortable. I tell myself that it’s ok to get out of my comfort zone as this is an opportunity to learn and grow.
