Summary
My professional career at Irving Knight has been a tremendously rich experience. Being my first role out of university and going straight into a fast paced 360 degree executive search position, it quickly became clear how important it is to be adaptable, resilient and consistently driven. Working in a high pressure, target-driven environment has pushed me to develop strong habits around work ethic, focus and accountability.
A key driver for me professionally is creating meaningful and long lasting interactions with both clients and candidates alike. I take immense pride in delivering a service that feels personal and valued, and is something I can confidently attach my name to. I always look to go beyond the standard offering of an executive search consultant, whether that's through sharing tailored market insights, publishing industry reports on LinkedIn, or merely taking the extra time to understand the finer details of a client's needs. For me, success lies in the quality of the relationships built and the value consistently delivered.
