Partner, Odgers Berndtson

I've spent the last 14 years or so at Odgers, I wear a couple of hats here; I run our global gaming practice - all the board and leadership roles we handle in igaming, betting and interactive entertainment internationally. I also run the broader entertainment division at Odgers - a team of 20 or so people in London working with clients in media, sport, music and gaming. Last year we handled over 90 senior appointments in 14 countries. I love my job. I meet some amazing people. Its a good reason to get out of bed in the morning.
