Currently the Wyndham business generates $300 milion and have over 5000 employees worldwide. He started working in the local family business which was a couple of hospitality establishments in Dunedin, New Zealand and became a General Manager at the age of 27. He then moved to Indonesia and then China to lead global hotel chains within those regions. “Moving into Wyndham, I had a vision for the business and it was a lot different to what others had in mind. And the timeshare industry has been around for years and I was trying to make major changes in direction and philosophy [which] was very challenging for some people. I was seen as a young CEO. Looking back, I was trying to move too quickly, was too aggressive. That is one of the key learnings I had” – Barry Robinson. This podcast explores Barry’s transparent and resilient entrepreneurial leadership style and his inspirational career journey to date.       Shaun McCambridge – Inspirational Leaders Podcast Shaun McCambridge is the Managing Director of Stellar Recruitment (http://www.stellarrecruitment.com) , a devoted husband and father to four spritely children.
