Talent that moves the mission.

Thoughtful hiring for meaningful growth.

With over 15 years of experience in global recruitment and talent roles, I understand how critical strong hiring is to business success, particularly at pivotal moments of growth.

I’ve worked across climate and carbon, SaaS, and AI businesses, partnering with both fast-moving scale-ups and established organisations.

My work focuses on two core areas:

  • hiring niche technical talent within climate and carbon

  • helping rapidly growing AI and SaaS companies scale their commercial teams

Across all of these contexts, the common thread has been purpose-led hiring, supporting organisations that care deeply about their people, values, and long-term direction.

Today, I work selectively with clients who share this commitment, partnering with teams that want to grow thoughtfully, build strong cultures, and hire in ways that genuinely reflect who they are and where they’re going.

Specialist talent partner in carbon & climate tech.

I support businesses in the climate and carbon space with thoughtful, high-impact hiring that helps them scale their teams and deliver meaningful change.

I’ve led complex, global hiring for organisations including South Pole and Climate Impact Partners, supporting teams across the UK & Europe, the Americas, Africa and India.

I recruit across commercial, technical and leadership roles, from specialist experts through to senior and C-suite appointments, and bring deep understanding of carbon methodologies and project types, including nature-based solutions, clean cookstoves and sustainable technologies. This means I understand your market, your challenges and the skills your teams actually need.

Through targeted search and a strong global network, I’ve delivered more than 120 successful hires in the past three years alone, helping climate and carbon organisations build the capability they need to scale with confidence in a fast-moving and increasingly competitive market.

Enabling growth in scaling AI & SaaS businesses.

I partner with SaaS and AI businesses at pivotal stages of growth, whether they’re building their first sales team or scaling an existing commercial function to meet increasing demand. At these moments, the right hires are critical to turning ambition into predictable revenue.

I work closely with founders and leadership teams to build commercial functions that evolve with the business, supporting the transition from founder-led sales to structured, repeatable growth. This includes hiring commercial talent with the drive, ownership mindset, and adaptability needed to perform in fast-moving environments, while strengthening execution through periods of change.

Commercial functions I’ve successfully built and scaled:

  • Lead generation

  • New business

  • Account management

  • Customer success

The focus throughout is on building teams that deliver impact early, scale effectively, and lay the foundations for long-term, sustainable revenue growth.
