I graduated with a BA in History and Politics before entering the world of recruitment four days before my 21st birthday and a week before my graduation ceremony. Both my parents run separate recruitment businesses, so recruitment has been a part of my life since I was very young and something I knew I would do from an early age.
I spent the next 10 years in HR recruitment working for three leading brands, working my way from contingent into retained mandates during this time. Post financial crises, reward was a growing area of importance and its profile was sky rocketing so back in 2012 I took the decision to specialise purely in this market.
A chance meeting at a networking event led me to Oakleaf Partnership who offered me the opportunity to build out a Compensation & Benefits practice and I have never looked back. I spent five years personally specialising in delivering executive search assignments within the reward market both in the UK, whilst building a market leading team of 8.
In 2019 I was proud to open our New York office, bringing our niche offering stateside. In New York we are the only executive search practice to specialise in hiring Compensation, Benefits, and Total Rewards professionals. Arriving to support an underserved market has been a welcome breath of fresh air for many of our clients and candidates, and in spite of the pandemic the last two years have seen us grow our New York presence significantly, and now we are shortly set to expand further by opening up in Boston in 2021.
Outside of work I enjoy all sports and completed the London Marathon in 2016 raising over £6,000 for Child Bereavement UK. My personal passions are Wasps RFC, and I am an avid fisherman. I have two young daughters who keep me firmly on my toes and my black labrador Ted is my main source of male company. Both him and I enjoy long country walks around the Surrey Hills.
