Exceptional NEDs
for Boards that
demand depth

Mission Match was founded on a simple belief: expanding access to the boardroom and onboarding thoughtfully strengthen governance and decision-making.

I began my career in executive search before moving into senior roles across government, including the Cabinet Office and major departments of state. My experience spans Chief of Staff and Private Secretary roles, government policy, HR transformation, finance, and board appointments for major public bodies.

This combination of search and public sector experience gives me a unique perspective on how board composition shapes performance. I have seen firsthand how the right appointment can transform board dynamics and how the wrong one can limit them.

As a qualified civil and commercial mediator specialising in boardroom dynamics, I bring additional expertise in navigating complex stakeholder environments, constructive challenge and board-level decision-making.

I specialise in identifying and assessing exceptional board and senior leadership talent, with a focus on independence of judgement and strategic perspective.

I founded a search firm in New York advising financial institutions, consulting firms and technology companies on senior appointments across international markets. I later joined OakNorth, a regulated UK bank and high-growth fintech, where I led executive search during a period of rapid global expansion.

I have led C-suite and board-level appointments across risk, finance, operations, product and technology, including CRO, CFO, COO, CIO and Non-Executive Director roles.

At Mission Match, I lead candidate identification and board-level assessment, combining rigorous research, market mapping, and governance evaluation to identify leaders who bring the expertise and perspective required to strengthen board decision-making.
