Where was I born.

Canterbury born and bred! Although I’ve lived in Auckland for over 10 years now I confess I’ll always be a Mainlander at heart...

What was I doing before I joined Gaulter Russell.

After finishing my LLB/BCom at Canterbury University I decided to give the law a go and spent 5 years as a Solicitor both in NZ and the UK. Eventually realising that that career choice just wasn’t going to cut it for me, I jumped at the chance to have a complete change and was fortunate enough to be taken on as a very green recruit by a large HR consultancy in 1995. I then spent 10 years recruiting at a senior management level across a broad range of functional areas.

Why do I work at Gaulter Russell.

Because it’s such a positive, committed and energised environment with great people. Being able to combine a commitment to the highest levels of professionalism and client service with an environment that’s innovative, entrepreneurial - and fun!- is exciting.

What do I do at Gaulter Russell.

At Gaulter Russell I’m responsible for our Search function. It’s my job to make sure we know who all the great candidates are at a senior executive level so that we can match them up with our great clients! I work with companies to understand their business needs and strategies and then to find them the “best” people in the market to make those goals a reality.

What do I do with my spare time

Spending time with family and friends is always high on the list - and if I can combine that with my passions for shopping, eating and drinking well, travelling and generally ’playing’ then all the better!
