I joined the Recruitment Industry in London in the mid 1990’s, moving to Australia in 1999. I have always specialised in Financial Services Recruitment and since moving to Australia have established a reputation as an expert in Advice. I am well networked and consider myself an extension of the industry.

I co-founded Profusion Group in 2004 and I am a Director of our executive search practice – pac executive. I specialise in the appointment of senior roles across advice, superannuation, platforms, insurance and asset management.

In 2005 I founded Profusion Group with Rod Jones, Simone Mears and Alison Loader. Since then I have been the Co-Head of our recruitment business. Day to day I am responsible for leading a team of recruiters who service clients and candidates across the Funds Management, Superannuation and Insurance sectors.

I am a Director at Profusion Group and part of our executive search practice – pac executive. I specialise in the appointment of Senior roles across Funds and Wealth Management. I also currently hold several Non-Executive Directorships and undertake selective strategy-based consulting.

I commenced my recruitment career in Sydney in 1998 with a specialist Insurance and Superannuation recruitment firm and within 18 months I was asked to open the Melbourne branch of this firm and spent the following 5 years building a successful Melbourne operation covering Superannuation, and Life and General Insurance. In 2005, I made the move to specialise in the search industry joining a large domestic search firm focusing on broader Financial Services before joining Primary Asset Consulting (now pac executive) in 2007 in a national role focussed on developing the Life & General Insurance search practice.

Having worked in Funds Management for four years in London, I relocated to Melbourne in 2009 with my Australian wife and began a career in recruitment, specialising in Financial Services. I joined an international recruitment firm, progressing to Manager of the Financial Services Operations & Specialist team in 2010, partnering with a broad range of clients across Banking, Private Wealth Management, Funds Management, Superannuation and Insurance.

After spending three years within the wealth creation industry, I decided to build on my previous recruitment experience and re-joined the industry in 2011 progressing from Consultant, Senior Consultant to Manager of the Wealth, Banking and Financial Services team for a large Australian recruitment company. Late 2013, I joined Profusion Group as a Senior Consultant and over a 14 month cycle progressively worked to become Associate Director. I am responsible for managing and growing a broad range of client relationships within the Wealth Management industry.

15 years of recruitment experience in Accounting for the Financial Services with an established network of senior and mid-level candidates and strong track record of success. I have always aimed to provide honest and helpful feedback even if that meant missing out on an opportunity, many of my clients have worked with me for a number of years and know that they will always get unbiased and well educated advice from me.

With over 10 years experience within the Sydney IT Recruitment market placing candidates at all levels, I place a massive emphasis on working with customers in an open and honest manner to provide a consultative approach to recruitment.

Prior to joining Profusion Group I spent 7 years in the Shareholder Services side of the Funds Management world, initially in Luxembourg and the United Kingdom, before moving over to Australia in 2011. Having joined State Street as a graduate, I was selected for a leadership training scheme and quickly moved into middle management.

In 2007, I joined Profusion Group as a Senior Consultant specialising in Funds Management recruitment. Partnering with a broad range of clients I have enjoyed working with the big global through to the start-up organisations.

As a proud local Australian 360’ recruiter with over 8 years local IT experience, I’ve been extremely privileged to have worked with some really impressive clients who are at the top of their game. Recruitment for me, is a passion. I actually enjoy placing local and international stand out candidates within Technology regularly in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, all across a wide variety of technology sectors.

Having spent the past 19 years in financial markets, across a variety of organisations and roles, I have had the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills and knowledge.  This coupled with my extensive network across a variety of specialist areas, I can provide a client with a very deep level of understanding of candidates and industry trends/intel, while offering guidance on the future direction of staffing within our market.

Having commenced my recruitment career in London in 2005, I have gained over 9 years of experience with 8 of these years dedicated to the Financial Services sector in Melbourne, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. My tenure within this field ensures that I can partner with clients and candidates in confidence and stand out from my competition. I can provide advice and guidance on industry trends and demands and I understand the complexities involved in this sector when compared to others.

While studying my Bachelor of Social Science majoring in Human Resources and Industrial Relations I worked part time as a Sales Consultant within the construction industry, before relocating to Sydney in 2013. My first job in Australia was with QPL Recruitment in a hybrid role before quickly being promoted into a Consultant position, and then joined Profusion Group in January 2014. For both companies I have specialised within Wealth Management Recruitment, enabling me to build a very strong network within this niche market.

Originally from Wales in the UK, I relocated to Sydney in 2007, and joined the recruitment world, specialising in Information Technology and Projects within Banking and Financial Services. I progressed to Manage a small IT Recruitment team, before moving into internal Recruitment with a large Global insurer, leading a National team whilst remaining hands-on in heading up the IT Recruitment portfolio.

Having spent six years in the Hospitality/Service industry I’m no stranger to hard work and long hours to ensure every customer needs are taken care of and serviced. I’ve tried to take this hard work and customer focused mentality into the recruitment industry with my clients.

Since 2013 I’ve always been involved in the Banking and Financial Services Sector across the UK and Sydney, starting my career as an advisor and lending specialist before making the move into Banking Recruitment.

In 2015 prior to Profusion I was the lead Business Analyst Consultant for Huxley Banking Associates, who are the Banking and Finance arm of SThree. During my career with Huxley I worked with multiple banking clients across different industries including Insurance, Retail Banking, Superannuation and Wealth. The exposure across these industries really helped build my market knowledge which I provide as a service to my clients, new or existing.

April of 2017 I joined an incredible growing Life Insurance team at Profusion as the Lead consultant for the Claims and Underwriting Market in Sydney.

Over the last 2 Years I have developed a very strong network across the Sydney Banking market (Client and Candidate) which I have been able to bring to Profusion. With my ability and drive to add value to clients at the highest level, I’m very excited and looking forward to growing our Sydney presence in the Insurance space
