ABOUT RAB MACLEOD
Welcome to my profile. I’m Rab — a business leader, coach, and facilitator with over 30 years’ experience across the automotive sector, public service, and entrepreneurial ventures.Today, I divide my time between:1. Managing Director of McDug Nutrition – the premium Scottish dog food brand I founded. Starting from scratch, I built the business into a nationwide e-commerce operation, learning every aspect of digital commerce along the way — from brand creation and Shopify development, to supply chain management, customer engagement, and digital marketing. This role has sharpened my skills in commercial strategy, online sales, and business growth, while giving me a deep understanding of how to lead a start-up through scale.2. Coaching & Facilitation in Public Service and Career Transition – as a Performance Development Coach with Police Now and as a facilitator supporting Armed Forces personnel transitioning to civilian life. Over the past five years, I’ve coached professionals ranging from graduate police officers to service leavers from Corporal to Colonel, helping them unlock leadership potential, build resilience, and thrive in new environments.My professional background also includes three decades in the automotive industry, where I led sales and leadership development programmes and discovered my passion for teaching and enabling others to grow.What I bring:Human-centred coaching informed by my lived experience of resilience and difference (I am dyslexic and know the power of alternative learning approaches).Proven facilitation and leadership development expertise in both public sector and business contexts.A track record of guiding people through significant change — whether stepping into leadership roles, leaving the armed forces, or transitioning into new careers.Entrepreneurial agility and hands-on e-commerce skills: from brand creation and digital marketing to scaling a direct-to-consumer business.I remain committed to McDug’s growth — but I am also open to external assignments in leadership development, career transition, coaching, and facilitation. Let’s connect if you are seeking a coach, facilitator, or leadership partner who blends empathy with evidence-based practice and real-world leadership experience.
