CodeClan has appointed Ceri Shaw from M&G to become its new chief delivery officer.
She will be responsible for driving connections with the Scottish tech scene to ensure that CodeClan’s offering remains up-to-date and relevant.
Shaw was previously chief engineer in customer technology at M&G. She has also held roles at Sky and FreeAgent, and is a committee member of Equate Scotland and a co-founder of Women Who Code Edinburgh.
Shaw said: “I’ve also worked with and hired a number of CodeClan graduates, so I’ve seen the considerable value of CodeClan’s output first-hand - I’m excited to be joining the team and the opportunity to make a real difference to the nation’s tech community.”
Melinda Matthews-Clarkson, chief executive at CodeClan, said: “I am also thrilled for her leadership and passion to encourage and coach more women into technology, her co-founding of Women Who Code Edinburgh is a great role model for the staff and students.”
CodeClan experienced record demand for its programming, data and bespoke courses in 2020, when it marked its 5th anniversary.
Scotland’s first and only SQA-accredited digital skills academy has produced more than 1,400 graduates since opening its doors in 2015.
