Ms. Fletcher’s experience of building and recruiting teams inside government, and her keen interest in seeing the best senior executives in public sector roles, ignited her interest in executive search in the late 1990s.

She also ran her own business in executive search for a period. Ms. Fletcher was also Director, Executive Search, at Hudson.

Ms. Fletcher has built a strong reputation for excellence in recruiting chief executives and other senior executives and professionals in the public sector, NGO organisations and legal / audit environments. Her own former senior leadership experience provides an informed understanding of the context in which recruitment decisions are made. The sourcing, retention and cultivation of high calibre talent for clients are Ms. Fletcher’s key professional passions. She has a strong reputation for excellence and for her professional but personable approach to dealing with clients.
