With 5 years at a global leadership development consultancy under my belt, where I managed large-scale talent programmes, I then spent 8 years in the recruitment world. My journey took me from agency recruitment to internal talent acquisition, and RPO onsite with a global media giant. I've had the pleasure of working with organisations ranging from ambitious startups to large enterprises. I’m driven by helping drive growth and performance, and my sweet spot to do that is by combining my passion for operational excellence and my commitment to delivering fantastic service to every organisation I partner with.

With 25 years of experience in the recruitment industry, I have built global outsourcing businesses, owned successful recruitment agencies, and advised cutting-edge recruitment and tech start-ups, helping them scale and secure funding. My journey includes investing in numerous tech companies, completing a management buyout (MBO), and authoring a book.

Driven by a passion for innovation and social impact, I founded Fractal, inspired by the comment that I was "too much of a socialist to be a recruitment business owner"—the highest compliment I’ve ever received.
