Meet Ian – Our New Chief Exec for North America
We recently announced that Ian Cameron has joined the Data Clan team as Chief Executive for North America. Here’s a bit more about Ian and what he brings to the Clan…
From Lockerbie to California
Ian grew up in the small Scottish town of Lockerbie and has called California home since the 1980s. After many years in the fast-paced San Francisco Bay Area, Ian now enjoys life in the picturesque coastal town of Cambria, famous for its stunning beaches and vibrant local community.
A Leader On and Off the Field
Ian’s leadership journey spans industries and sports:
- A lifelong coach and mentor, Ian once coached five adult rugby teams at the same time.
- A passionate Lawn Bowls player, Ian competes nationally – you might spot him wearing a few medals.
- A high-level sportsman, Ian represented varsity rugby from his freshman year and remains tenacious about both sport and industry.
A Teacher at Heart
With 20+ years in professional development and training, Ian thrives on simplifying complex problems through visual thinking. He’s been operating virtually for over 15 years, perfecting the balance between remote leadership and meaningful human connection.
Life Beyond Work
Outside the boardroom, Ian’s passions include:
- Photography (especially from his time with a 150-person Samba troupe!)
- Maps and cartography (ask him about the first thing he buys in any new place!)
- Keto and wellness advocate
- A deep love for Edinburgh, Northern California, rivers, the sea, and small country towns.
Long-Term Collaborator
Ian brings a rich history of collaboration, having worked alongside Data Clan co-founder Chris for over two decades. With Ian’s diverse leadership experience, coaching spirit, and global perspective, we’re excited for the impact he’ll make driving Data Clan’s growth across North America!
