As Co-founder of Impala Search, I'm focused on providing search solutions within the software engineering industry in Berlin.

In charge of 7 direct reports and 40 indirect reports, who all predominantly focused on placing software engineers across the DACH and Nordic region. I increased revenue from £2.9m to £4.5m in 2017 representing an increase in permanent revenue of over 40%. 100% retention rate for over 2 years on all direct reports.
