#risewithRandstad.

I joined Randstad UK&I in 1997 before taking the helm as UK Group CEO in 2021 following five years as MD of the company's Public Services division. In that time I have powered continued growth and success, motivating the people I lead to be courageous and innovative, while carefully balancing commercial performance with technology and the power of the human touch.

I lead a number of finance teams in the organisation, including management accounting, commercial finance as well as procurement and payroll. Finance is at the heart of our business and my team takes on a pivotal role in exciting transformation projects as we support Randstad in its journey to becoming world class.

My innovative IT team plays a pivotal part in keeping the business running and ensures that we have the tools we need to be the world’s leading recruiter. We are responsible for end-to-end business transformation and are pivotal to driving growth, efficiency, optimisation and engagement through our people, process and products.

As Head of Marketing and Communications, I lead our team in developing and executing impactful marketing strategies that solidify our position as a market leader and resonate with our target audience. My focus lies in strategic planning and development, marketing and digital campaigns oversight, and building strong client relationships. With over 24 years of experience, I’m committed to improving our brand awareness with clients and candidates; further developing our reputation of being an excellent provider of services; and by encouraging our growth mindset as a specialised and equitable talent organisation.

As the leader of our high-performing enterprise sales activities, I focus on large, strategic and high-value sales engagements. Our responsibilities go beyond just hitting sales targets - my team and I strive to build strong customer relationships, drive long-term business value and strengthen Randstad’s market positioning. With over 25 years experience in corporate and SME leadership, I have led specialised and cross-functional teams, driven business development, fostered innovation, and promoted operational excellence to achieve sustainable growth in a competitive market.

I joined Randstad in January 2024 having worked in various HR leadership positions in a diverse range of companies from start-ups and scale-ups to large global corporate organisations. I am passionate about leveraging people-related data to deliver actionable insight to shape and drive business strategy and performance. I truly believe in HR as an active and involved partner, to enable the business to deliver growth, both in terms of commercial and personal, to attract and retain the best team, elevate productivity and improve engagement, by building a diverse and inclusive working environment for everyone.

Since joining Randstad as a consultant in 2000 I have been lucky enough to work with people who have shared a passion for helping people and organisations to come together and achieve their goals. Having had the opportunity to work across all sectors and nations in Randstad I am proud to be the Managing Director for Professional Talent Solutions in UK & Ireland. The most rewarding part of my position is seeing the valuable work my teams carry out to help our talent become successful and achieve more in society.
