Merlin Leadership Unplugged | Rob Smith

For Managing Director of Midway Attractions Rob Smith, a highlight of working for Merlin is that “everyone is open to new ideas, to individuality, to diversity” – something Rob has seen in a variety of forms throughout his two decades at the company. Not one to shy away from a new idea, Rob has recently returned to London from 12 years in Sydney as Divisional Director for the Asia-Pacific Merlin attractions, and caught up with Ioanna Pappa in the latest episode of Merlin Leadership Unplugged as he starts his next exciting chapter. As we celebrate Pride month, Rob highlights how our leaders are a fundamental part of driving change, driving belonging, and driving how we work together to highlight diversity, inclusion, and representation across Merlin’s global attractions. Listen now to discover how Rob has embraced new ideas throughout his career, how he believes leaders can create change, and how pride is driven by passion.
