About Emma Ames

With over 16 years of work experience in IT and service management, I am a passionate and driven leader who thrives on delivering excellence and innovation. As the Head of Talent Acquisition at Atos, I oversee the recruitment activity for Independent Assessment Services, a key service that Atos provides to the Department for Work and Pensions. I am committed to attracting, developing, and retaining top talent who share our vision of service excellence and social inclusion for our teams and communities. I also bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, having worked in various roles and sectors across the UK and globally.In my previous role as the Head of People Transformation at Atos, I led the design and implementation of a new people focused culture for the Independent Assessment Services account, which supports over 70,000 assessments per month. I successfully managed the change process, ensuring alignment with the strategic objectives and values of the organisation. I also leveraged my ITIL and PRINCE2 certifications, as well as my extensive knowledge and experience in incident and major incident management, to optimise the performance and quality of the Personal Independent Payment service. I am proud of the positive impact that I have made on the people, processes, and outcomes of the IAS People Team function and the wider Atos organisation.
