Gary Turner

Non-Executive Board Member, London

Hello, I’m Gary Turner. I’m a certified non-executive director with go-to-market strategy and leadership development expertise. I have spent almost 30 years in operational and leadership roles with international public software companies, including Microsoft and Xero.

As Xero’s UK & EMEA co-founder and managing director from 2009 until 2022, I led Xero UK from £50k of annual recurring revenues to over £185M and more than 850,000 SMB customers and I was a member of Xero’s global leadership team for over 12 years.

Alongside my board advisory and governance work, I make angel-sized investments in the future of B2B tech and provide advice and guidance to founders and CEOs.

I have a Certificate in Corporate Governance from INSEAD.
