About

With almost 10 years experience in Technology Recruitment & beginning as a graduate, I head up or Data & Software Engineering teams at Burns Sheehan operating as a Senior Director specialising in Permanent, Contract & Executive Search. My approach as I am sure my network would attest to is built around relationships and I take great pride in the fact that a lot of my clients I work with now were placed as candidates in my earlier years of recruitment. I genuinely believe that if you do something good for someone, they will repay the favour and working within the people industry, that has certainly been true for me. I think it is important to be more than just someone who fills jobs and helps people get roles, that a true partner supports the wider needs of their clients and you only get to understand what they are by getting to know them which is why I much so much emphasis on spending time directly with them. Over the years I have worked extensively with Start-Ups & Scale-Ups within the VC world all the way through to IPO. In recent years I have also taken more of an industry in the Private Equity space which is becoming a key area for us here at Burns Sheehan. We've never been in a more interesting technological period than we are now, especially within the Data & AI space hence why my team here is set to support clients of all shapes on sizes across the Data Engineering & Infrastructure, Analytics & BI, Data Science & AI piece. We've also become well known for facilitating a number of key Director/VP/C-Suite and some of our most recent key hires in this space include: - Chief Data & AI Officer - VC Backed - VP Data - VC Backed - Director of Data - Post IPO - EVP AI - PE Owned - C-Suite Data Advisory - PE - Director of Data - PE Owned - SVP - AI - PE Owned
