Dr FRANK DOUGLAS

A globally respected leader in diversity, inclusion and human resources, Frank is the Founder and CEO of the consulting firm Caerus Executive, whose clients have ranged from music conglomerates such as Universal Music Group and Warner Music, to major institutions such as Royal Mail, Network Rail and the BBC.

Frank is the first (and still only) Black male to be the Group Human Resources Director of a FTSE 100 organisation. Most recently, he was honoured by HR Magazine for being one of the top 10 ‘Thought Leaders’ in the UK.

Prior to founding Caerus Executive, Frank was Executive Vice President, Group Human Resources Director/CHRO for Misys (now Finastra), a global technology company and was part of the executive team credited with helping to turn around that organisation. Frank is also a non-executive director and member of the remuneration and nominations committee of City and Guilds Group, as well as having served as a trustee for the Human Resources professional organisation, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), in a similar capacity.

A former semi-professional trumpet player, Frank brings with him a life-long passion for music and creative arts.
