About

I am a specialist AI, Crypto, Web3 & Blockchain Recruitment recruiter based in the UAE, renowned for my expertise in partnering with world leading companies looking to build their AI & Data departments. What sets me apart is not only my deep understanding of the recruitment landscape but also my unique background as a former professional rugby player in the UK, where I dedicated a decade of my life to the sport at the highest level. My transition from professional rugby to executive search has honed my ability to identify, nurture, and leverage the exceptional qualities and resilience that define success in both the sporting arena and the corporate world. I bring a level of determination, teamwork, and commitment to excellence that is often hard to find in the recruitment field. Drawing upon my extensive industry network, market insights, and a personal passion for helping individuals and organisations thrive, I specialise in connecting top-tier talent with the specific needs of my clients. My holistic approach to recruitment goes beyond traditional methodologies, focusing on long-term strategic partnerships that drive growth and success.
