She brings a very strong business acumen and wealth of experience spanning industries including healthcare, FMCG, and advertising as well as the exciting and very current ecommerce space. Jo knows what it means to build strong, enduring partnerships and her expertise in marketing and sales strategy outside of recruitment bring real breadth to our client and candidate engagement. Her BCom (Hons) from Otago University prepared her for her marketing roles in both multinational and privately owned organisations in New Zealand and abroad. But it’s the entrepreneurial and private ownership flair that brings the extra string in Jo’s bow.
