I left college in 2011, embarking on my journey with Skillfinder as an ambitious 17-year-old apprentice driven by a hunger for success. Fast forward 11 years, and my voyage through the realm of technology recruitment continues. Fast forward 11 years and continuing my experience in technology recruitment, I now manage the Swiss technology desk here at Skillfinder after rejoining in 2023.
Within my current role, I derive immense satisfaction from the positive transformations I can make in individuals' lives. Whether it entails realizing their career aspirations or strategically augmenting their teams with pivotal talents, I relish the impact I can make. My commitment extends beyond a mere professional partnership; I consider myself an extended arm of each client, meticulously curating a seamless and stress-free journey.
An interesting fact about me: I dedicated two years of my career to technology recruitment in Dubai. This extraordinary chapter not only broadened my horizons but also enriched my encounters with diverse markets and cultures. It's an experience for which I'll forever remain grateful.

I was introduced to Grant shortly before I arrived in the UK.What a remarkable individual. Incredibly generous with his time and advice about the industry which he understands so well. I'm not at all surprised at the level of success he has achieved by establishing Skillfinder International.
