My Story

I have over 20 years’ experience in Executive Search, I started my career working in Executive Research where I would be undertaking detailed company mapping and organogram production as well as detailed searches. These methodologies have stuck with me, in addition to my ADHD, means I have always been able to find innovative solutions and searches for my clients that have helped attract individuals to business that would not normally be found.

I spent 5 years living in Australia and worked with clients in over 50 countries so have a very strong global outlook as well as experience developing in country talent pools as well as managing global searches.

Focus

My focus is working with global Natural Resource companies and leading start-ups helping with diversification of this leadership to adapt to the ever-changing landscape, both internally from a skill perspective as well as every changing global geopolitical outlook.

This as including helping companies decarbonize operations through digitalization, electrification and sustainable practices, helping companies develop and commercialize technologies, partnering to develop strategies to increase diversity at leadership levels and position themselves for global ramp-ups.

My Motivation

I love what I do! The opportunity to work with such inspirational individuals and companies, on a global basis, that are having a real world impact is amazing.

The industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the imperative to decarbonize, digitalize, and adopt more sustainable models, all aimed at creating a more suitable future for generations to come. The chance to be part of this and have a real world impact is amazing.

Why I Like Working at Savannah

Firstly the people, Savannah have brought together a leading team who deeply care about their clients and building lasting relationships.

The business has always stayed at the forefront of technology, investing significantly in in-house technology, but also know it is a people first industry and the importance of building and truly understanding clients’ needs now and in the future.
