Amy has over 15 years of experience in recruitment, specialising in early talent and working for some of the biggest names across multiple industries.
After graduation, Amy joined JP Morgan, starting her career in a fast-paced HR team that recruited and developed over 500 graduates and interns every year. Moving to Barclays in 2012 to spearhead their Corporate Banking Campus team, Amy won her first award at the prestigious RAD Awards in 2014 for ‘Work of the Year’, showcasing innovative ways to identify the best talent in the market. Since then, Amy’s campaigns have regularly been shortlisted and won at the RADs, Target and Recruitment Marketing Awards.
Amy then moved out of the financial services industry into a range of sectors, including engineering and construction, with a focus on emerging and early years talent as well as diversifying these talent streams.
This mix of industries has allowed for a variety of projects, including coaching executive teams and the opportunity to work with different people from diverse backgrounds. Amy has combined this wide-ranging experience into her current role at Rockborne as Operations & Talent Director and Partner. The role involves creating campaigns and strategies to bring the very best and brightest talent into Rockborne, supporting their career journey and helping change the makeup of the data industry.
Everywhere she has worked, Amy has been laser-focused on her passion for improving diversity of thought. She thrives on considering how to get the best out of individuals and fostering a warm, welcoming, open culture. Her overriding philosophy is that D&I isn’t an exact science but comes from communication and embracing new challenges.
