Hands-on support
After 20 years leading talent acquisition at organisations like McGraw-Hill Education, I've seen both sides of the executive hiring process—and I know the gap between being qualified and being hired is often just a matter of positioning.
You've built an impressive career. You have the credentials, the track record, the expertise. But when it comes to articulating your value in high-stakes interviews or positioning yourself for the next level, something gets lost in translation.
That's where I come in.
I work with mid-to-senior professionals—typically managers stepping into director roles, or directors positioning for VP—to bridge that gap. Not through generic interview tips, but by showing you exactly how hiring managers evaluate candidates at your level and what separates a "strong maybe" from an offer.
What this looks like in practice:
We start with your specific situation—the role you're targeting, the gaps in your positioning, the stories you're not telling effectively. Then we build your interview strategy using my Discover-Vision-Action framework: clarifying what makes you different (Discover), aligning it with what the market values (Vision), and preparing you to demonstrate it compellingly (Action).
This includes role-specific interview preparation, executive-level CV and LinkedIn optimisation, and—if relevant—guidance on navigating UK, US, or Middle East markets. I've particularly helped professionals targeting opportunities in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 transformation economy, where understanding cultural nuances and strategic priorities makes the difference.
My background: Global Head of Talent Acquisition at McGraw-Hill, 20+ years conducting senior-level interviews across Tech, Healthcare, SaaS, Education, and Finance. Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD).
If you're ready to move forward: Book an Introductory Call and we'll discuss your specific situation.
