John Mclean started his career in the fashion industry, where he had four years management experience with Jaeger, the global fashion brand.

John then spent a number years in marketing and brand consultancy with the world’s largest and most prestigious marketing consultancy companies. John was an associate board director with a division of DMB&B, the world’s fourth largest advertising agency group.

John then founded The Late Escapes Group, which became the largest and most profitable direct sales travel agency company in the UK.

Within just four years Late Escapes were employing over 150 people, and had an annual turnover in excess of 50 million euros.

John sold the Late Escapes Group to the international travel corporation My Travel (Airtours) plc. After the sale of Late Escapes, John became resident in Monaco.

In June 2006 John graduated with an Executive MBA from the International University of Monaco, with a specialism in Luxury Branding.

During his two year MBA, John developed the concept of building a Monaco based luxury brand.

Right now, John is using his vast international experience in brand building and marketing in order to develop and launch a new Monaco based luxury consumer brand, which, it is envisaged, will one day be considered in the same light as the famous premium luxury brands which we are all so familiar with.

Additionally, in 2006, John founded the Monaco based investment fund Investors Forum Ltd which is dedicated to supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.
