I’m the CEO and founder of JGA Recruitment Group, a B-Corp certified executive search firm for Payroll and HR. Over the past 20 years, I’ve supported organisations across the UK, EMEA and North America to build high-impact teams that deliver meaningful business results. I’m also an ILM Level 7 certified executive coach, keynote speaker and podcast host, ranked by Thinkers360 as the #1 Global Thought Leader in Payroll and one of the Top 10 HR Voices. My work explores the intersection of leadership, talent, mindset and performance. Through my podcasts — The Payroll Podcast, The HR L&D Podcast, and The Mindful Paths Podcast — I share fresh perspectives on how to lead with courage and clarity in uncertain times. I also deliver leadership talks internationally, including the upcoming Bureau Management Conference 2025, where I’ll present my session “Leading Through Fear”. In 2024, I was awarded PayrollOrg’s Global Vision Award for my contributions to payroll strategy and advocacy. As the creator of The Fear Equation™ and B.O.L.D.™, I help leaders reframe fear and uncertainty into purposeful action.
