How I got here
20 years of insight from both sides of the hiring table.
The Recruiter Years
20 years leading high-stakes executive searches across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. I was the one making the call on who got the $200k+ roles.
The Realisation
I saw strong executives miss shortlists again and again. Not because they lacked the experience, but because their resume and LinkedIn profile did not show it. Recruiters move fast. If your value is hard to read, you are passed over.
The Move to Career Strategy
I left recruitment to work for the candidate instead of the client. I also trained as a Master NLP Practitioner. I use it when a senior leader is stuck on a big career decision.
The Strategist Era
10 years running my own practice full-time, with more than 5,000 resumes written. Today most of my clients are CFOs, finance and commercial leaders, and executives moving into board roles.
