Deborah Gray Email & Phone Number

As an experienced executive search professional, I have led senior and exclusive searches and have been regularly retained for Board level, C-suite and senior search recruitment. My style is to work in partnership with professional services firms at a senior strategic level to develop highly effective and integrated business services teams. My particular focus is on the recruitment of C-suite and Board level professionals: CEOs and COOs, as well as directors and all other business leadership positions. This includes (but is not limited to) the following business functions: Business Development, HR, Risk, Knowledge Management, Innovation, IT, Finance and Shared Services. My career has allowed me to develop a distinct set of skills and experience giving me deep market insight of the professional services sector. Not only do I understand the workings of a law firm from my role at Herbert Smith Freehills, where I spent five years in HR management and recruitment but I also have over 15 years' experience working as an executive search professional for professional services firms of varying sizes in a variety of locations nationally and internationally. I do not believe that ‘one size fits all’ and I am very adept at putting square pegs in round holes….We are placing more Board level business services leaders than ever. We are at the forefront of what the market wants and needs, and we are a truly agile business who have the insight to properly advise firms finding their way in this transformational market.
