6 decades of combined industry expertise. Passionate about how good looking we are so paid for headshots to introduce ourselves!
I’d love to be able to say that everything I’ve done until now has all been part of some grand design. Well, if it is, it isn’t mine! I’m here because ‘here’ is where the path led me. So it is with a grateful and humble heart that I find myself in an industry I passionately believe in, doing work I love. My career has been a vehicle through which to better myself, provide a great life for my family, and make a meaningful difference in the world. Thanks to the brilliant folks I’ve worked alongside, learned from, befriended, and gone into business with, I have been fortunate enough to collaborate on some of the largest hiring projects in the world, helping more than a million people find work. I only hope that some of that number share my good fortune, in finding a career that ignited their passion in the same way.
My proudest professional accomplishment came during the pandemic, partnering with the NHS to deliver tens of thousands of frontline workers to tackle the national health crisis. This was the realisation of everything our industry can achieve on its best day, and a privilege to be a part of. Not to mention, the folks at the NHS are some of the hardest working, and most inspirational, people I’ve ever met.
I’ve been in the industry for 19 years, and I’ve seen it all. From humble beginnings in telesales to leading experienced sales teams, I’ve learned a thing or two about the value of great people. I’m also passionate about helping businesses achieve their goals. A true problem-solver with a human touch, I thrive on finding the perfect solutions that bring success to everyone involved. Watching teams and projects thrive and flourish has been a huge driving force in my career. My other driving force is my family- my hubby who has spent the last 20 years pushing me to always go further and try everything that scares me, from abseiling down Table Mountain to shark diving – trust me, I am far from an adrenaline junkie! And I can’t forget my 2 little munchkins, who are my little treasures that give me the inspiration, energy and drive to go above and beyond always.
As a results oriented person I’m practical and pragmatic. I’m also highly ambitious and competitive. I pride myself on being an extension of my customer’s team, and then channel my competitive spirit into creating mutually beneficial outcomes and ‘everybody wins’ situations. This approach has underpinned the long term partnerships I have enjoyed with some of the biggest global and domestic brands. Having spent more than a decade in the industry I am motivated by the opportunity to bring a level of support and care that has been typically ringfenced for enterprise customers, to the masses. I care deeply about the people that work at the companies that scarcely get nominated for awards, and are not bringing anything ‘sexy’ or ‘shiny’ to end of year black tie dinners. These people work extremely hard, often with a lack of reporting / systems in place to aid them, and still manage to provide the talent necessary to grow their businesses. My proudest professional achievement to date came during the ‘lockdowns’ of 2020 and 2021 when I partnered with one of the UK’s largest supermarket chains to deliver solutions that ensured the country was able to keep putting food on their table.
I like to think of different ways to solve problems that make a big impact. As an unwavering innovator, I possess an unrivalled passion for delving into the inner workings of my clients’ businesses and processes. By immersing myself in every intricate detail, I unearth extraordinary opportunities for enhancing efficiency and driving success. Most of my recruitment career has been helping health and social care businesses not only attract but help retain top talent. My biggest inspiration on my professional journey has always been my immediate family. They have worked tirelessly in the care sector for most of their life. If one of my innovations could be to clone members of my family and place people like them within the care sector then I’ve cracked it.
Decades of combined industry experience went into creating Yoke. I’m here to add some fresh eyes. With a background in technology, I’ve been on the other side of the HR industry- I’ve seen it at its worst and its best. Now I’ve joined the mission to help companies realise the latter. I’ve spent a career in sales & marketing, making sure customers receive the experience they expect. This means everyone working together seamlessly to deliver that experience. There’s nothing I like more than seeing a well oiled machine geared towards one goal, putting the customer first – that’s my passion. A perfectionist, nothing frustrates me more than bad execution, especially when the customer is the one that suffers for it. It’s my goal to combine Yoke’s mission and my passion. I wear many hats at Yoke (not literally, I don’t suit hats), supporting the founders’ strategy and ensuring smooth execution of their vision as we scale. Get in touch if you want to chat about…well anything really (just please, no more golf!)
Being on a mission to redefine people ops is stressful work! It falls to our CHO’s to lower our blood pressures and keep us happy so we can focus on our mission to empower your team. They are also in charge of security, and are proud to report that yoke HQ has been squirrel free since 23 day(s).
