Independent advice. Honest conversations. Better hiring decisions.
Strategic talent advisory
Helping ambitious technical businesses build the hiring capability they need for their next stage of growth.
You don’t always need another recruiter.
Sometimes you just need an honest conversation.
Where I work best
Board, C-suite and senior technical leadership across complex, regulated and mission-critical sectors.
How I can help
Build direction, capability and confidence.
Every business is different.
The work starts by understanding the challenge before choosing a solution.
Build direction
When you're a smaller business, hiring is often easier. As you grow, it becomes something else entirely.
Build capability
The cost of getting a senior appointment wrong is rarely measured in recruitment fees.
Build confidence
If a search isn't the right answer, I'll say so.
