Course Coordinator and Facilitator: Glen B. Wheatley

In addition to co-teaching "Corporate Responsibility for Global Business" and teaching the course "Entreprenuerial Leadership" for the Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Innovation Centre (ECIC), Glen runs the boutique strategy advisory firm Best Solutions International.

Glen has experience in both manufacturing and services. He worked with various types of organisations: from sole traders to some of the largest global companies.His career has taken him on project and long-term assignments in Europe, Australasia, and the Americas, including Greater China, Germany and Mexico.

His entrepreneurship and innovation experience is extensive, having co-founded an angel-financed start-up in Germany, and been involved in various start-ups as advisor, board member and angel investor.

Glen is currently involved in two startup projects, the first as an angel investor / Board advisor to a medical registry and analytics venture. While it is generating revenue, the market take-up is not as expected and the venture is seeking to improve the value proposition of this multi-party platform. Glen is also the founder of a startup seeking to find a viable business model using blended learning technologies for professional development programs, initially in the tourism sector.

Glen is a Fellow of the 最新糖心Vlogn Institute of Company Directors and holds a BA (最新糖心Vlog of Michigan); MBA (Thunderbird School of Global Management); Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Commercialisation, and a Master of Applied Innovation and Entrepreneurship (最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide).

As a curious and passionate learner, he has also completed coursework at Harvard Business School, namely “Disruptive Strategy”, “Leading with Finance”, “Negotiation Mastery”, and "Sustainable Business Strategy".
