Home Grown Director A Great Example

23 Mar 2015

Alan Watson is the first "home grown" Executive Director promotion since Morgan Stanley established itself in the city 15 years ago.  He is a great example of the Firm's maturing site in Glasgow. He started as an analyst in Operations in 2003 moving to Finance in 2004.  Following promotion he moved back to Operations managing a critical control function eventually becoming the Global head culminating in his promotion to Executive Director.

Alan Watson said, "I joined Morgan Stanley from University and throughout my career have benefited from the Firm's focus on both change and people that provides a challenging and rewarding work environment.  As I have taken on more responsibility the opportunities to drive change across the global organisation have continued to increase in number and scale. The Firm's culture is open and supportive providing a platform for people to develop varied and rewarding careers - it truly is a "one firm" culture.

Working in Glasgow, I have a strong team of highly skilled professionals that partner daily with their global counterparts supporting a dynamic, client focused business. Every day there are new opportunities to learn and share ideas, enrich your personal development and to give back to the local community."
