In this episode of the Scottish Business Network Podcast, we sit down with Charles Kergaravat, a New Yorker with Breton roots who has built a remarkable career bridging cultures, business, and innovation across the Celtic nations.
Charles shares his journey from Wall Street to Brittany, France, where he left behind a finance career to embrace a new life focused on tech, entrepreneurship, and community building. At the heart of his story is the Interceltic Business Forum, an initiative born out of the famous Festival Interceltique de Lorient, now connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and diaspora communities from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and beyond.
Listen in for a powerful blend of heritage, innovation, and opportunity—with a Braveheart-style invitation for Scotland to step forward onto the inter-Celtic stage.

David started life in Glasgow dreaming of working in an ice cream van but then, after considering a career in the merchant navy, he realised he could get a place at university. That decision opened the door to an extraordinarily successful career thousands of miles away in the US space industry. David tells his story with wonderful colour, humour and affection for his homeland. Recommended!
