I have been working in the Australasia Executive Search & Recruitment market since 2002. In early 2011 wanting to combine my work with my interest in Healthcare I moved to exclusively work in the area of Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, Consumer & Animal Health, and Diagnostics executive search and recruitment.

I have established myself as a leader in these sectors, investing heavily in understanding clients, candidates and having a detailed technical knowledge of the market, but most importantly because I am passionate about healthcare.

My primary ethos is providing a recruitment solution that is dynamic, tailored, innovative, transparent and professional. I am well equipped to provide in-depth technical advice, market trend analysis, and salary and benefits benchmarking. My objective on every assignment is to set an industry leading benchmark for service. Drawing on market knowledge, ethics, energy and professionalism, I have built a clear distinction in delivery.

I have built strong relationships based on trust and respect; that has equipped me with the ability to handle the most difficult assignment. These relationships help to connect talented candidates with the most rewarding career opportunities. It also means that candidates and job opportunities are often referred on an exclusive basis.
