Helping growing companies scale their teams and tell their story - clearly, credibly and consistently.

TALENT & TALE exists to bring clarity to growth. I support scaling organisations to design thoughtful recruitment strategies, deliver high-quality hiring, and articulate an employer brand that genuinely reflects who they are becoming.

With over a decade of experience across complex and commercially driven environments, I combine strategic oversight with hands-on delivery- bringing calm structure, honest guidance and practical momentum to your next phase of growth.

Growth doesn’t need to feel chaotic. With the right structure and clarity, hiring becomes a strategic advantage rather than a reactive function.

I work alongside founders, senior leaders and growing organisations to bring focus where it’s needed most- whether that’s strengthening your recruitment foundations, refining your employer brand, or aligning both as you scale.

My work is guided by four principles:

Clarity first.
Before hiring begins- or messaging evolves - we define what success looks like. Clear thinking leads to stronger decisions and better outcomes.

Structure that scales.
Whether designing hiring processes or strengthening the foundations of your employer brand, I focus on building systems that are consistent, practical and built for sustainable growth.

Talent and brand in context.
In some phases, recruitment and employer brand operate independently. In others, alignment is essential. I help you assess what will create the greatest impact for your organisation at that point in time.

Commercial alignment.
Every decision should support the direction of the business. I bring strategic oversight with hands-on delivery- balancing pace with precision.

I bring over a decade of experience building and supporting teams within complex, commercially driven environments.

While much of my background sits within biotech and pharma, my remit has consistently spanned both specialist and commercial hiring- partnering with leadership teams to scale functions across R&D, sales, operations, corporate services and growth. The context may have been regulated, but commercial challenges were universal: attracting the right talent, building capability, and scaling responsibly.

Alongside recruitment strategy and delivery, I have led employer brand and EVP development initiatives- helping organisations clarify how they articulate their culture, ambition and value to the market.

This dual perspective ensures talent strategy and employer positioning are aligned when required- supporting both immediate hiring needs and long-term organisational growth.

The principles translate across industries: structured hiring, commercial awareness and a clear, credible story that supports sustainable growth.

From first hires to established teams, growth brings complexity- in how you hire and in how you show up.

I work where I’m needed most, offering strategic thinking, hands-on delivery or steady reinforcement for internal teams. Alongside building structure within hiring, I help ensure your employer story is clear, credible and aligned with the direction of the business.

Because sustainable growth isn’t only about attracting the right people — it’s about articulating who you are becoming as you scale.

Designed to flex

Whether you’re looking for support with hiring, employer brand, or a combination of both, I offer thoughtful, commercially grounded guidance shaped around your stage of growth.

If it feels like the right time to bring more clarity and structure to your approach, I’d love to talk.
