We placed an HR leader to build the people function from scratch during international expansion. The established business needed someone with the credibility to advise its founders and the willingness to handle day-to-day HR work.

The person appointed designed core HR processes, launched the company's first leadership development programme and helped put its cultural values into practice globally. This gave the business a foundation for growth and helped it attract new talent.
