I love the tech ecosystem and the place VC has in it. The people are energetic and work at pace, the goals are lofty and the quality bar high, and there’s a pay-it-forwards mentality that’s infectious. The more time you spend within it the more you uncover, and getting energy from your work is a definite edge when there’s an unlimited amount to do!
Success is noticing growth in hindsight and appreciating how different who I am today vs. who I was a year ago.
I spend time across all core headhunting verticals: (i) new candidate discovery & relationship building, (ii) search delivery (identification, qualification, client management, preparation, process management…..), (iii) internal training and development through both formal management & informal teaching and many others
Massively! The opportunities available for anyone with the willingness to go through the (often painful) process of growth & self-reflection are unlimited. Despite being founded in 2009, Kea remains an entrepreneurial environment and blue-sky thinking is encouraged – I’ve seen it first-hand!
I am a singer. The close listening, the idea and practice that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the understanding & appreciation that there are many hours of work that happen behind the scenes to produce a single piece of work have all stayed with me.
