With over 20 years of senior-level HR experience across a mix of industries, including technology, healthcare, private equity and life sciences, they bring the leadership, resilience and adaptability needed to support both growth and transformation.
This candidate has operated at both strategic and operational levels, often within global, complex and matrixed environments. They’ve led HR functions across the UK, EMEA, the US and APAC, consistently aligning people strategies with wider business goals. Their work has supported organisations ranging from ambitious SMEs to globally scaled businesses.
What sets them apart is their ability to step into challenging environments and make meaningful, measurable change.

Whether it’s leading a Workday implementation, redesigning job architecture or mentoring a people team through change, they bring clarity, experience and delivery.
