TALENT TRANSFER - Key Persons

Dr Tracy Rea's career history to date spans over varying industries. Tracy has recently finished two years as the European Head of Human Capital/People at Laing O'Rourke within construction. Previously Tracy worked as a Product Owner with the Agile Centre of Excellence within Group Transformation at Lloyds Banking Group. And the early days of her career were grounded within high performance sport, having previously been employed as Performance Director of Scottish Gymnastics in the lead up to the 2014 Glasgow: Commonwealth Games, as well as competing internationally herself. Tracy's PhD examines the concept of talent transfer within sport and this was the stimulus for Tracy to try and prove the hypothesis herself across industries and roles, hence the reason behind her move from sport to banking and then construction. Tracy also holds the role of non-executive director on the board of CIMSPA: Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity in the UK as well as Chair of the Board for Parkour UK. Tracy attended York St John University twenty years ago and was President of the Student's Union in 2002.
