“I have long been an admirer of Johnson Partners and their unique approach to Executive Search. It has justifiably become the ‘go-to’ firm for major organisations seeking to appoint exceptional legal and governance professionals, and is often behind the strategic talent moves shaping the legal and governance industry. I’m really excited to join a high performing team that’s committed to delivering excellent talent outcomes for its clients, with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion.”
