What excites you most about your role?
One of the most exciting things for me is the role we play in helping our clients to achieve their strategic goals. I’m hugely passionate about our role in driving growth for our clients and there is nothing more pleasing than completing a search which results in an exceptional appointment which makes a fundamental difference to our clients’ business.

What did you want to be when you were younger?
I always thought that I was going to be a pilot! I actually did a handful of lessons and was due to join Oxford Aviation Training when I made a U-turn and decided to move to London to accept an offer to work as a recruiter for a boutique financial services recruitment firm.
