HR professional, consultant, recruiter, marketer, techy and wannabe futurologist. In the dog world he’d be referred to as a ‘Bitzer’ – Bitz of this, and bitz of that.  The first 10 years of his career were text book HR – from gritty ER stuff in a closed shop union environment to the slick end of International HR in a global consumer goods business.  A great, if not a little thankless, existence.

The next 10 years were less than text book. Gareth left HR following a bout of chronic disillusionment and dabbled in Executive Search for a short while.

Startups, starbucks, VC’s, IPO’s, CRM, technology, propositions, powerpoint, strategy, tactics, branding, people, successes, failures, confidence, insecurity, riches, losses, wife and kids. Gareth crammed a lot into those 6 years…

The next 8 years were spent in the recruitment industry, running one of the country’s leading HR search and selection firms and also the marketing and technology functions of the parent group.  Since the end of 2010, Gareth has been doing his own thing, helping companies bring products and propositions to market in a variety of sectors, from technology start ups to professional bodies.
