Global Head of Talent Acquisition

RICS

Fuelled by a deep passion to use the transformative power of strategic leadership to shape the future of work.


I do this by cultivating positive and engaging environments for both current and potential employees to thrive and experience the enormous sense of worth, pride and achievement that great employers can provide.


My vision extends beyond traditional recruitment, I find that taking a broader and more innovative approach to talent acquisition results in far more successful, sustainable and profitable growth - which is good for business - and all current and future employees!


My career journey encompasses a spectrum of expertise, from crafting compelling employer brands and enhancing candidate experiences to driving resource planning, internal succession strategies, and shaping executive hires. I take immense pride in my contributions to early careers and diversity and inclusion initiatives.


With two decades devoted to Talent Acquisition, I am honoured to have recently been named the Talent Acquisition Leader of the Year 2023 at the prestigious IHR Awards—a recognition that fuels my passion for creating meaningful impact.


Beyond my professional pursuits, I am privileged to be a member of the RL100—a vibrant community of industry professionals united in challenging norms, sharing insights, and mentoring future talent acquisition leaders. My commitment extends beyond the boardroom, fuelled by a deep passion to cultivate positive and engaging environments for both current and potential employees.


As a thought leader, I believe in the transformative power of strategic leadership to shape the future of work. My vision extends beyond traditional recruitment, aiming to craft experiences that resonate, fostering growth, innovation, and inclusivity.


Let's connect, collaborate, and create a future where every talent is recognised, every voice is valued, and every workplace is a source of inspiration.
