Summary
Although my aspirations to play for Everton Football Club were thwarted by a knee injury, I discovered a passion for executive search early in my career. My journey began in a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) role, managing large-scale accounts both internally and externally with agencies. As an agency consultant I have worked in the Software and Cyber Security industry in the UK and the US with my best year billing £280,000. To further enhance my expertise, I completed a CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management and transitioned into a Senior Talent Executive position with OrderYOYO. Outside of work, I have a passion for travel and have visited San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Vilnius, and Dubai over the past year.
