Managing Partner at Spectrum with over 20 years' retained executive search experience. I founded the firm in 2001 to specialise in board and executive searches for clients across the technology sector.Most of our search mandates involve investors from private equity, family offices, and venture capital.I’ve helped clients appoint Board Chairs; Non-Executive Directors; CEOs; and executives across most functional disciplines, including CFO; CTO; CIO; CCO; CMO; Chief Product Officer; Chief Digital Officer; and Chief HR Officer.We operate across the full spectrum of the technology sector, including software; SaaS; IT Services; eCommerce; FinTech; Payments; EdTech; digital media; telecoms; hardware. etc.I am London based and much of our search activity is geographically borderless. I personally lead search assignments.Our approach is grounded in detailed research, is agile, and consultative. The objective is to deliver a successful outcome, to have asked considered questions, to deliver insight, and for both the client and the shortlisted candidates to have experienced a professional, transparent, and enjoyable process.Various clients have been kind enough to describe me as “forensic”; “knowledgeable”; “dedicated”; “thorough”; and that I run “a very professional process”.I began my career in corporate HR with Nortel Networks, Cable & Wireless, and Fujitsu. I’ve always been interested in the role of people in business and hold a BA (Hons.) Personnel Management.I’ve witnessed the dot com crash; the financial crisis; Brexit; and Covid. The tech sector has always bounced back - more strongly, with greater innovation, and (despite intermittent wobbles) more commitment. We are still at the beginning of technology sector's impact on society and the world.
