Mentors

I’ve had a successful marketing and publishing career for nearly 20 years though school was not my strongest area whilst I was growing up. In my teenage years I lived in Malta and spent far too much time out enjoying myself rather than studying! However, I ended up with a BSc in Leisure Management with only IGCSE, a Chartered Institute of Marketing Professional Diploma, a Canine Behaviour and Psychology Diploma, Education and Training Level 3 and Scrum Product Owner certification – as well being a trained leatherworker. I guess you’d call me a late starter with my education!

I started my working life as an office junior in the Offshore Finance Department of the Jersey office of Price Waterhouse Coopers and left 12 years later as a Senior Manager and an Associate Member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (now The Corporate Governance Institute), a qualification I gained whilst working fulltime.  I then owned and ran a hotel in Pembrokeshire for 3 years, during which time the hotel was put forward for awards and won various certificates.  

My name is Luke LeSauteur and I’m a hands on creative senior sales and marketing leader with 18+ years' experience working with SME’s, the Public Sector and large Corporations. 

I have a proven track record of establishing new and expanding current revenue streams, by creating and executing sales and marketing strategies to drive overall growth. I have a real passion for learning and people development - Able to understand organisational structures and procedures in-depth and thrive on new challenges.

Customer experience has always been at the heart of what has proved to be a successful formula. In Malcolm’s eyes that includes not just external customers, but also internal customers including staff and suppliers.

Before embarking upon my business whirlwind, I attended and aced my Business Degree and Masters in Marketing to set the foundations for a lifetime of opportunity making and market gap filling. Having played a hand in several projects and consultancy groups throughout student life, hitting the ground running after graduation was a dream start in ‘The Big Wide World’.

After this I went into construction where I qualified as a bricklayer and then hospitality where I have organized a large amount of large-capacity music and sporting events.
