Executive headhunter for the creative industry
About
My speciality is connecting top creative thinkers, who are culturally attuned, diverse in background, experience, and thinking with world class companies, who value creativity and innovation. With nearly 30 years experience working in or with some of the most influential creative businesses globally, I have an in-depth understanding of ambitious, creative cultures and those people who do well in them.

“I’ve worked with Holly to get my last two jobs and she’s amazing. Intuitive, collaborative, and really does everything she can to make sure not just the candidate and the role feel like a good match, but also the company fit and ethos as well. Having worked for the top agency in the world for a long time before recruiting, she knows what she’s doing, but has absolutely no ego while doing it. I know if she believes in an opportunity, it’s a good one.”

The secret formula to her success is the thoughtfulness, taste and judgement she applies when matching companies and candidates. She has a high bar for talent but is also careful about personalities and fit. She has a great radar for people who are both super talented and genuinely nice human beings, and for spotting the few organisations out there that are good enough and smart enough to take advantage of people like that.”

“Holly is the one. She runs a proper upfront process that reassures and helps navigate to the best candidates. Most recently this delivered two senior game changers for me at Formula E. Quietly influential and never pushy - a real partner who’s my go-to and widely respected in the creative industry.”
