With 20+ years in recruitment, I've hired across some of the most complex, competitive, and fast-moving environments imaginable — from major global engineering consultancies to high-growth tech start-ups. That breadth is what makes Hire Pals different. My career in-house recruitment began at world-leading engineering and infrastructure consultancies — including Mott MacDonald and AECOM — where I recruited across highly specialised disciplines spanning Rail, Automotive, Aerospace, Defence, Energy, and Buildings & Stadiums. Hiring in those environments taught me rigour, stakeholder management, and how to find exceptional technical talent in markets where the best people are rarely looking. More recently, I brought that experience into the start-up world, working in-house at Prove AI where I built out their team across every function — engineering, product, marketing, go-to-market, finance, and C-suite. That role gave me a genuine understanding of the pace, pressure, and people decisions that define early-stage company growth. In 2020, I founded Hire Pals — a specialist recruitment partner for tech /high-growth and global consultancy companies across the UK, Europe & Middle East.

Our mission is to enable builders to productionalize GenAI and prove its ROI, while maintaining continuous visibility into the performance metrics that matter most.
