Kendra Byers

National Director, Scotland | Global Entrepreneurship Network UK 

I am a very driven individual that likes to put my passion and skills to good use to support and encourage entrepreneurial activity in Scotland. I'm all about connecting people and collaborating to drive success. With my background in business engagement and communications, I'm skilled at building relationships, solving problems, and contributing to business growth. 

I'm the Business Engagement & Communications Manager at Bright Red Triangle, Edinburgh Napier University, where I get to work with aspiring entrepreneurs and help bring their ideas to life. I'm all about workshops, networking, and getting our entrepreneurial community thriving. In addition, I also act as an Ambassador for the Scottish Business Network (SBN), where I'm passionate about making meaningful connections between dynamic organisations and the Scottish diaspora. SBN supports Scottish-based companies and organisations to develop and grow through the utilization of the Scottish business diaspora. 

I love meeting new people and making a positive impact in the entrepreneurial community. Whether it's through my job, my roles with GEN UK and SBN or personal connections, I'm always looking for ways to bring people together and create a supportive environment for innovation and growth. Being a businesswoman, I know first-hand some of the challenges entrepreneurs face, especially young business leaders. That's why I'm passionate about offering my support and experience to help alleviate these challenges and ensure the next generation of entrepreneurs has the resources they need to succeed. Always seeking opportunities to bring people together and create a supportive environment for innovation and growth. Let's connect and see how we can work together to make a difference in the world of entrepreneurship!
