Bio

Seamus Gillen BA MBA FCIS worked for the UK Government as a senior policy adviser, becoming Private Secretary to the UK Secretary of State for the Environment, and then the UK Deputy Prime Minister. He oversaw a number of significant policy initiatives including the Kyoto Protocol, and the development of London Docklands. He moved into industry as the Company Secretary and Director of Regulation at AWG plc, a water and utilities company listed on the London Stock Exchange, and subsequently became Head of Public Policy and Regulation at O2 plc, another UK listed company, before it was acquired by Telefónica.
 

Prior to joining Reputation Institute, Seamus ran his own practice advising companies on issues relating to reputational risk, governance, disclosure and business metrics. His areas of expertise include financial regulatory disclosure relating to the narrative section of companies' annual reports—including his work for the UK Investor Relations Magazine Awards for the best narrative disclosure by a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, and the ICSA Hermes Awards scheme which acknowledges companies' disclosure relating to their governance performance—and the roles, responsibilities and duties of company directors. Seamus is particularly interested in the links between reputational risk and corporate governance, and the strategic importance of these issues in creating value, generating investor confidence, and building sustainable advantage with wider groups of stakeholders.
