What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global resourcing and business-development support, building scalable recruitment processes, international teams, talent networks, and structured outreach systems.

I lead global resourcing and business development support at Gibson Research Consultancy, managing international teams and structured lead-management systems.

Across seven years in global recruitment, I've recruited more than 2,000 professionals worldwide and built a network of 25,000+ industry specialists. I create scalable recruitment processes, train teams across regions, and use reporting to improve targeted outreach.

In my current role, I support client and partner meetings, generate outbound activity, and produced commercial materials including capability statements, one-pagers, email pitches, and LinkedIn content. My outreach contributed to approximately 20 prospective-partner meetings in the first four months of 2026.

I'm also a certified English–Spanish translator, delivering accurate legal, corporate, medical, and technical document translations for freelance clients.
