My years spent in the recruitment industry have seen me scale a successful data talent solutions business.

But the good stuff doesn’t stop there.

From this unique experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge on your biggest pains points as a Data Director, Chief Data Officer, or Head of Data.

I learned at the start of my career that there is a huge difference in placing a really great candidate vs simply placing a candidate. With this in mind I work tirelessly to ensure that the people that I represent are the best in class.

I have worked with some of them for over 20 years. They have proven skills, giving you the confidence that they can help you can achieve your objectives. By working with me you can be sure that I have everyone’s best interests at heart.

The buck stops with me, and only me.
