Director + Founder @ Pivotal | Building Talent Solutions

Sep 2014 – Present · 11 yrs 6 mos · London, United Kingdom

We help high-growth brands scale by hiring exceptional Marketing, Growth, Brand and Creative talent.
From early-stage disruptors like Runna, Purdy & Figg and Wild Cosmetics, to scaled players like Tripadvisor, Skyscanner, Carwow and TikTok, we work at the moments that matter, when the right hire can unlock serious commercial impact.
Whether it's a fractional lead, a Head of Growth, or a full exec search, we shape each project around your stage, structure and ambition.
Alongside one-off searches, we also run embedded talent partnerships, ideal for brands that are:
Scaling fast but not ready for a full internal TA team
Hiring across multiple roles without blowing the budget
Wanting a more flexible, integrated approach to talent
We’re proud to support some of the most ambitious D2C, eCom, App, Subscription, Marketplace and Product-led businesses in the UK, Europe and beyond - including Charlotte Tilbury, AnyVan, Trainline, Twinkl, Ancient & Brave, Wilderness Destinations, Cosmetify, Skin + Me, and JAAQ.
