Having worked in investment banking in my early career, I fell into executive search in 2006 after being asked to run a specific project. After a year I began working as an executive search consultant full time. I progressed to Partner focussing on placing senior HR and commercial candidates for technology and consumer companies. I have always loved working with clients to deliver the best outcome possible through spending time getting to know them and their organisation. More recently I worked in-house on the HR Leadership team of a large technology company which gave me great insight into what clients really want from a search firm and how important it is to build strong relationships based on trust and experience. I am excited to now be part of Savannah, a progressive organisation where collaboration is a big focus. Working with some inspiring people to deliver for our clients is what inspired me to join.
