My working life started in teaching, both in London and Africa, before a huge change of direction led me to a role in senior recruitment. In both fields, I knew that I wanted to make a real difference. They are both about seeing the potential of someone, knowing how to unlock their talent and giving the encouragement they need to excel.

With my focus on hiring at Partner‑level, I speak to leaders who have reached a natural impasse in their career, where they want to apply their expertise in a different way. They see themselves as able to bring something significant to the market. We represent an opportunity for more senior leaders to come in, apply their experience and really make their mark.”
