Harry has specialised in Corporate Affairs since the inception of his search career, closely following how organisations shape and protect their brands. He has keenly monitored how the function’s remit has expanded so that today’s leader must exercise judgement around a broad range of issues from geopolitics to sustainability, to diversity and inclusion. Harry’s focus, alongside his wider experience of appointing NEDs, CEOs and CFOs, has led to a deep understanding of how the best Corporate Affairs Officers and Chief Sustainability Officers are influential in their organisations.
Prior to joining Hedley May, Harry was a Partner at one of the UK’s leading boutique executive search firms where he was a member of the Board practice and led the executive leadership practice. He took an active role in promoting diversity and inclusion and supporting clients with broader ESG initiatives.
