Q&A with Angus Gibson, Harbor London’s New Director of Partnerships

At Harbor London, we’re thrilled to welcome Angus Gibson as our new Director of Partnerships. With an extensive background in managing client relations and forging global partnerships within the high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) spheres, he brings unparalleled expertise and an exciting vision to Harbor.

This week, we sat down with Angus to discuss his background, his new role, and what excites him most about joining Harbor London.

Can you tell us a little about your background and any career highlights?

“I’ve been fortunate to work extensively in client relations, strategic partnerships, and management, primarily with HNW and UHNW individuals and organisations across the globe. Over the years, I’ve lived and worked in Dubai, London, and Monaco – three hubs that are synonymous with luxury and innovation.

My career has mostly revolved around building relationships with high-end partners, brands, and publications, which has given me invaluable experience in the luxury space. Interestingly, my background also includes film and advertising, which has further shaped my approach to creating meaningful connections and impactful strategies.”

What will your role as Director of Partnerships at Harbor London involve?

“My role will focus on expanding Harbor’s presence, both in the UK and internationally, by increasing awareness and building a strong network of referral partnerships. I’ll also represent Harbor at events, conferences, and other key platforms to ensure that our voice is heard within this vital industry.

Additionally, I’ll be supporting Harbor’s marketing efforts, ensuring that we position ourselves effectively in both established and emerging markets, and connect with those who would benefit from our discreet, one-patient-at-a-time mental health and addiction rehabilitation services.”

What drew you to Harbor London?

“Harbor London presents an exciting opportunity to work with a similar calibre of clientele and job function as my previous roles, but within a totally new and incredibly meaningful space. I’ve always been drawn to roles that focus on luxury and bespoke services, but Harbor stands out for its dedication to driving meaningful change in addiction rehabilitation and mental health treatment.

I’m particularly inspired by the chance to make an impact in a field that addresses such pressing issues, both here in London and on a global scale. It’s a unique and rewarding challenge that I’m eager to embrace.”

How do partnerships contribute to improving Harbor London’s delivery of luxury, residential, utterly curated addiction rehabilitation and mental health treatment?

“Partnerships open up new avenues for Harbor to reach untapped markets and raise awareness about our services, as well as mental health and addiction issues more broadly. By aligning with other high-end brands and organisations, we can solidify Harbor’s position as a leader in luxury, curated care, while fostering a broader conversation about mental wellbeing within UHNW circles.

Ultimately, strategic partnerships will help Harbor not only enhance its brand image but also create a network that ensures more individuals and families in need have access to our personalised, life-changing services.”

Angus brings a wealth of experience and fresh perspectives to Harbor London, and we are excited to see the innovative opportunities he’ll develop.
