Donald Greig joined Scottish Land & Estates in August 2023. After several months covering the role of Regional Manager (SE Scotland), he moved into the position of Membership Communications Manager in March 2024 before becoming Head of Membership Communications in January 2026, in which he manages the Membership Communications team and oversees all communications to SLE members, including magazine and podcast production, as well as the annual Helping it Happen campaign and awards.
Prior to joining SLE, Donald worked in a wide range of roles in the private, public and third sectors, from hands-on project management to director and non-executive positions. After a career in travel and wildlife publishing in the UK and Australia working with companies that included Rough Guides, Berlitz, Dorling Kindersley and Thomas Cook, he moved into rural development, working for the Southern Uplands Partnership focusing on the implications of changing patterns of land use on the social, cultural, environmental and economic life of the central southern uplands.
