About
The Expertise Behind the Placement
With over 25 years of experience dedicated to strategic leadership acquisition across core sectors including Healthcare, Social Care, Education, and Commercial Sales, I specialise in identifying and securing the C-Suite and Managing Director talent that drives enterprise value.
My career is founded on a proven triad of Integrity, Precision, and Results. I am known for bringing energy, a positive outlook, and a genuine people-first approach to high-stakes executive engagements, ensuring a superior experience for both the client and the candidate.
As an executive search leader, my track record demonstrates consistent success in driving business growth through strategic talent placement, developing high-performing internal teams, and forging client relationships that last for decades. My expertise spans complex recruitment strategy, international talent acquisition, and transformational executive search across both the UK and global markets.

By finding recruits who fit our ethos, we ensure better collaboration, stronger engagement, and long-term success. At Ainsworth Recruitment, I focus on matching not just skills but shared values, because I believe the right team creates the right results. Let me help you build a tribe that thrives together.
