Mr Young said: “While much of MBN Solutions’ focus remains on Scotland, the demand for data-driven talent is global, and our reach extends across the UK and beyond as we support leading organisations in data and AI (artificial intelligence), Shannon’s track record as a talent partner and her understanding of the evolving needs of the data industry make her an exceptional fit to lead MBN forward. Her vision will help our clients attract, develop, and retain diverse, high-impact teams that can drive innovation and sustainable growth.”
He added: “Maintaining our position as a top-tier talent partner in data and AI requires an ongoing commitment to exceptional leadership and deep industry knowledge. Shannon’s promotion to managing director is a reflection of her strategic insight, reputation, and dedication to supporting our clients in meeting their business objectives with future-ready teams. Her leadership will further strengthen MBN’s offering and solidify our reputation as a trusted partner in an increasingly complex talent landscape.”
Ms McKechnie said: “I’m so honoured and proud to step into this role. Leading MBN Solutions allows me to work alongside an exceptional team, helping clients meet their strategic goals by connecting them with the best talent available. Our focus is to build partnerships that enable data-driven innovation and ensure our clients’ success for the long term.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
