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.

Episode 100: An interview with SBN Chair and Founder Russell Dalgleish
Welcome to the Scottish Business Network podcast. For the 100 episode of the SBN podcast I had the pleasure of speaking with a truly remarkable individual, Russell Dalgleish, the founder and chairperson of the Scottish Business Network. Russell is a dynamic leader with a career that spans decades and industries, from technology to global networking. His journey, which he refers to as one of luck and perseverance, has been marked by pivotal moments, from his early days in computing to his role as a connector of the global Scottish diaspora.
Russell's vision for the Scottish Business Network has been instrumental in building a vibrant community that supports Scottish businesses and entrepreneurs worldwide. His experiences, from standing on a plinth in Trafalgar Square to navigating the challenges of the 2008 recession, have shaped his belief in the power of community, resilience, and the importance of asking for help.
In this interview, I explore Russell's insights on leadership, his philosophy of helping others, and the unique challenges and opportunities within Scottish culture. Whether you're an expat looking to reconnect with your roots or a member of the Scottish Business Network, this conversation promises to inspire and inform.
I give you Russell Dalgleish….
