About

Talent Partner | Cybersecurity BD (Gibraltar & Europe) | Connecting People, Technology & Security. With over 20 years in recruitment and deep roots on Spain’s southern coast, I specialise in connecting high‑impact talent with high‑growth opportunities across Gibraltar and Europe’s tech and iGaming sectors. My approach is straightforward: clear communication, honest partnerships and a focus on long‑term fit over quick wins. I’ve supported early‑stage start-ups hiring their first engineers, helped scale technical teams at pace and partnered with established brands to streamline and strengthen their hiring processes. Whether it’s developers, cloud specialists, product leaders or creative talent, I work closely with businesses to understand their goals and deliver people who can drive them forward. Alongside this, I cover new business development for Kevlar Defense across Gibraltar and Europe. The global team behind Kevlar Defense brings over 25 years of cybersecurity expertise and with the rapid rise in cyber threats across Europe, they wanted a trusted presence on the ground here. That’s where I come in, using my network, regional insight and commercial relationships to open doors, build partnerships and introduce organisations to enterprise‑grade security solutions backed by respected US industry leaders. Across both areas of my work, the common thread is simple: real relationships, commercial insight and aligning the right people, partners and solutions at the right time. 🎮 iGaming focus: Casino | Poker | Bingo | Sportsbook | VIP & Player Support 💡 Tech focus: Dev & Engineering | Cloud & Infrastructure | Creative & Marketing | Leadership 🔐 Cybersecurity: Business Development, solution alignment & regional expansion across Gibraltar, UK and Europe. If you’re hiring, scaling or exploring new opportunities, I’m here to help you navigate the market with clarity and confidence.

  • Director at XCM ROCK LTD
    Jan 2014 - Jan 2016 · 2 yrs 1 mo

    Who is XCM Rock? A recruitment consultancy with a focus on IT, Creative, CRM and Insight roles. Our staff have been selected not just because of their professionalism but because of their customer first ethos. Its integrated partnerships we are interested in, not the quick wins of the smaller agencies, we position ourselves as the extension to your team, and act like it. We reward loyalty with unparalleled levels of service but also a fair fee policy. In the same way you choose your partners, so do we. Which means if its price only you are interested in, then there are plenty of agencies out there who will work with you on this basis, that’s not us, sorry. If you want, partnership, service, anticipation, inclusion and an honest approach and then we would welcome the opportunity to prove or words. We spend a lot of time understanding your role profiles but also your company ethos and the softer feel of the environment the candidates will work in. There is no point employing the skills if the face just will not fit, it’s a waste of your time and money plus it damages both our reputations. We personally vet the candidates, not just CV search the plethora of job sites like some, in doing so if we make a recommendation, you know it’s because they are engaged, excited and willing to work for you. Unlike any other agency in Gibraltar we are part of an IT, Marketing and Insight Company meaning we can further vet candidates to a much deeper level than someone researching to just a specification. Being part of this group means we have had significant investment in business process, investment in people and infrastructure to make sure that our staff can spend the maximum time on meeting your needs. Thanks for taking the time to read about XCM Rock and please do give us a call to see how we may help you now and in the future.
