I help purpose-driven businesses, Grow.
Connective Business Growth
‘recruiter’ comes from the Latin crescere, ‘to grow’
With the boom of AI and decentralised technologies, we’re in the midst of a global economic shift, where certain industries are crumbling and being created overnight, and the shifting tides are making way for questions like:
‘what do people and our planet really need?’
Having scaled leadership teams for high-growth, VC-backed businesses in Europe and the US since 2013, I have seen the inside of many organisations at the exec level, across many industries, consulting on a wide range of growth strategies. In that time I have built an extensive global network of quality talent, investors, and heart-centred leaders, driven by a sense of purpose, deeply connected to themselves and their values.
The Current Climate
Professional Services
I help businesses grow by connecting people. Whether that’s through hiring talent, connecting the business with clients, partners or investors, or connecting the leadership team with tools for personal development and growth, I cover a lot of ground, specifically with companies that are impacting our people or planet for the better.
Experienced placing roles at C-Suite, VP & Director Level (+ lower level management) across Marketing, HR, Product, Sales, Finance, Operations, General Management, and securing sales and partnerships deals that increase direct revenue.
Fractional Model
The traditional agency recruiting model is often too expensive for most startups, and/or they aren’t ready to hire a full time recruiter yet. As a fractional partner, I offer a more cost effective solution to find talent, that better understands the cultural nuances of an organisation, and leverages the depth of my network to seek out additional partnership and business development opportunities.
Who I’ve worked with so far.
And what they had to say.
Holly’s ability to channel deep professional wisdom is unlike anything I’ve experienced. As a founder and leader, I’ve received tactical guidance from many, but Holly taps into something far more profound—your life's purpose and unique superpowers. In one intuitive session she gave me clarity on how my specific gifts can create greater impact in my work and helped me see beyond surface-level strategies into a much deeper alignment with my mission. This isn’t just about personal growth; it's about stepping into a higher level of leadership and impact with authenticity and power. Holly is the guide for those who want to lead with more than just vision.

Holly helped me make my first C-level hire outside of finding my co-founder. She's fun to work with, passionate about what she does, but more importantly, she weaves a bigger why into how she does it. She's a connector who has an eye for team needs and culture dynamics. She's my go-to for hiring VP and above talent.

We've worked with Holly several times now and have always had great success in finding the perfect person for the role. She takes the time to learn not just about the role but our company to understand the type of culture and development we promote. In every situation working Holly, the process has gone incredibly smooth and she was able to source numerous candidates that met both our technical requirements as well as cultural fit. I highly recommend working with Holly across any hire in your organization, regardless of level.

I cannot recommend Holly enough. Holly is a fantastic recruiter - she gets to know you and the candidates so that she can match you with 1) someone whose experience fits the role well 2) someone who fits with your personality well 3) someone who is interested in growing with your business and staying long-term. It's rare to find a recruiter who is so easy to chat with and just gets what you are looking for. I have worked with her on multiple roles at all levels - from CMO to Sr. Associate. It doesn't matter what the role is - she devotes herself to finding you a good match and sticking with you through the process.

Holly has worked with me on several occasions to find and recruit top talent. She takes the time to understand our needs and keeps us informed of her progress every step of the way. Holly has also provided mentorship and coaching to some of our junior team members, helping to shape our People Operations organization and ensure that we are aligned with our core values and mission. She is a highly creative individual who excels at networking and is an asset to any organization.

I used to avoid calling myself a recruiter. But ever since I found out that it really means ‘to grow’, I think it’s the coolest thing. Because I really love helping things grow.
Straight out of college, I worked for Europe's fastest growing recruitment tech firm in London. In 2016 I was given the opportunity to help set up our first international office in LA, connecting the local tech community and helping scale some of the most exciting brands out of Silicon beach.
Life imploded 3 years in, when my business partner died unexpectedly. It sparked a catalyst in me, driving a pursuit for this sense of finding something more, in discovering a deeper meaning to it all, and what really makes me happy. For a couple of years I went on a deep inner pursuit, getting in touch with my own values, sense of purpose, and the things that sparked joy in me. This time awakened a deep intuitive connection within me, as well as a desire to pursue music onto the stage.
When it comes to finding my own sense of purpose, I got really clear that my gifts and expertise are so founded in connection: connecting people to their own sense of joy and purpose, connecting people to each other, to values-led businesses, weaving a network across companies and individuals that nurtures this idea of aligned growth.
I believe we're in a time of radical self-empowerment, creating lives that work for us, pursuing careers that fulfil us, building businesses that actually serve us. The companies that I really believe are changing the world have founders who are heart-led, values-driven, and are deeply connected to their own sense of self. When you bring those kinds of folks into a room together, that's when some real magic happens, so that’s exactly what I do.
I am currently based in Venice, working with companies I feel very passionate about, making music with sights set on Glastonbury, and spending full moons naked in a hotspring somewhere.
