About Carol

Carol Glover is the Maverick Maker®. For 40 years she has led technical organisations without being the technical expert. Now she walks alongside leaders developing the capacity to do the same.

Carol is an executive coach and leadership mentor working with senior leaders, experts and specialists.

CEO across 15 sectors. Never rode a motorbike, but led the TT Races. Not a mechanic, but turned around Halfords Autocentres. Carol has spent four decades proving you don't need to be the technical expert to lead technical excellence. She has been the generalist who got the best out of specialists by challenging assumptions, connecting dots across domains and leading with courage instead of expertise.

The world is changing. AI is removing the scaffolding leaders have been leaning on - expertise, information advantage, the illusion that certainty equals competence. The leaders who thrive will be those who can discern what matters when there is no certain answer. That is where Carol works now.

She coaches, mentors, speaks and serves on and advises and co-creates with boards. She works with senior leaders, experts and specialists navigating AI disruption. She moves them from Endangered Expert Identity to high agency leadership. Carol does not focus on performing differently. She architects the mindset that makes different performance inevitable.
