How I got started on this path
I never set out to become a recruiter — I started in research, but quickly found myself drawn to the challenge of finding the right people for the right roles. Over two decades later, I’ve specialised exclusively in senior HR recruitment, building a national network and a reputation for never giving up, even on the most difficult searches.
Along the way, I’ve worked with organisations of every size — from global corporates to founder-led SMEs — and completed over 500 senior HR hires across the UK and internationally. I’ve seen first-hand how the right leader can transform not only a team, but an entire business.
I choose to work differently. I personally lead every assignment, taking on only a select number at a time so I can give each one my full attention. Every search is tailored, every process transparent, and every placement focused on long-term success. This isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about finding the person who will truly make an impact.
Away from the office, I enjoy staying active—whether on the padel court, in the yoga studio, or walking the dogs.
20+ years specialising in senior HR recruitment.
500+ senior HR hires completed across the UK and internationally.
Assignments in 15+ countries, including the UK, Europe, US, Africa, and the Middle East.
Roles from £80k–£250k across diverse sectors, from retail and manufacturing to technology and healthcare.
Core Values & Philosophy
🔍 Integrity in Every Hire
Every recruitment decision reflects your brand. That’s why I approach each search with full transparency, honesty, and ethical practices—ensuring both clients and candidates feel respected and informed throughout the process.
🤝 People-First Approach
Hiring isn’t about matching skills to a job description—it’s about finding the right fit for your team’s culture, vision, and long-term success. I take the time to truly understand both the role and the people behind it.
🚀 Long-Term Impact
A great hire isn’t measured in the first 90 days, but in the years of contribution that follow. I focus on identifying talent that not only meets today’s needs but can grow with your business for the future.
🌍 Inclusive by Design
A commitment to diverse, authentic, and future-focused hiring. Diverse teams drive stronger ideas, better problem-solving, and healthier company cultures. I’m committed to connecting you with exceptional candidates from all backgrounds to help your business thrive.
