Marie Ranson
Head of Programmes and Training in Stockton-on-Tees, UK
As Head of Programmes & Training at Skillfluence, I lead the strategic development of our training library, ensuring it evolves with the needs of universities, researchers, and industry. I oversee programme design, quality assurance, and trainer management, delivering engaging and effective learning experiences.
With a background in researcher development, knowledge exchange, and corporate training, I create and deliver programmes that equip researchers with the skills to collaborate, innovate, and apply their expertise beyond academia. I’ve worked extensively with Russell Group universities and organisations like Deloitte, American Express, and News Limited, supporting professionals in enterprise, leadership, and research commercialisation.
Beyond Skillfluence, I coach and facilitate high-level programmes for academic and corporate clients, offering both strategic insight and hands-on expertise. Having lived and worked across the UK, AU, and EU—and founded successful businesses—I bring a global perspective on leadership, innovation, and enterprise.
Always open to collaborations that drive meaningful results.
