My story
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.
My focus
My role at Savannah is to lead the People and Culture Practice to deliver impactful executive search, interim management and talent intelligence services. Our clients need individuals who can improve the performance of their organisations and many have complex requirements. I spend time collaborating with colleagues to craft the very best solutions for our clients’ leadership challenges.
My motivation
Driving great results is what I enjoy best. I love getting to know people as individuals and then working with them to find a solution. Being a trusted advisor is key for me and I spend time reaching out to clients and then working with colleagues to deliver for them. I am a people person through and through and truly love what I do. I also enjoy bringing talented executives together through events, with a key focus on women in leadership and engaging senior women in webinars, breakfast meetings and podcasts to champion and promote accelerating change in the diversity at the top and throughout organisations.
