Former SNP MSP and MP Michelle Thomson has taken up a new role as a strategic adviser with Growth for Good which helps businesses and organisations that want to make better decisions.<\/p>\n

Ms Thomson stood down from the Scottish parliament in May after serving as MSP for Falkirk East from 2021 and as MP for Edinburgh West from 2015 to 2017. <\/p>\n

Commenting on her new role, she said: \u201cMy focus will be helping businesses and organisations test assumptions, understand the risks of action and inaction, and make better decisions where commercial priorities, public policy and responsible growth meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will also continue the work that matters deeply to me in supporting women-led businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her new position takes her back into a business-facing role. She co-founded Momentous Change, a research and consultancy firm specialising in strategic change and before entering politics worked in a range of senior change roles at Standard Life.<\/p>\n

At Holyrood, she served as deputy convener of the Economy and Fair Work Committee and as a member of the Finance and Public Administration Committee.<\/p>\n

During her time at Westminster, she served on the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and led the interrogation of Sir Philip Green during the BHS pension inquiry. <\/p>\n

She was named Political Hero of the Year in 2023 and Backbencher of the Year in 2024.<\/p>\n
