Julie spent her early career on the Media Owner side, where she reached Publisher level, and successfully led multi-disciplined teams across commercial sales, editorial, marketing and distribution, for iconic brands including:
- Express Newspaper Group
- Punch Magazine
- Conde Nast

In 1993 she launched a progressive Executive Recruitment business, which was a logical transition, having been immersed in the media industry for her entire career.
She has successfully evolved and steered the business through two recessions into its 26th year, and more recently, expanded into the Law sector.
In her words: “ I love what I do. Hearing about the inspiring, brave ideas in our industry and learning from champions. That is the best thing about working with outstanding clients and uncovering the hidden talent for them. Seeing my clients and candidates excel and grow through the connections that I make for them, is what gets me up in the mornings. “
