Lead business development at Speyside Capital, advising high-net-worth individuals and financial professionals on portfolio diversification through whisky cask investment — a resilient, inflation-hedging alternative asset. Educate clients on the value of rare single malts sourced directly from family-owned Scottish distilleries and bottlers. Champion whisky as a strategic vehicle for wealth preservation, market diversification, and legacy planning, highlighting its exclusivity and low correlation to traditional markets.

Managed the full recruitment lifecycle across multiple time zones, from talent sourcing to onboarding. Built and maintained a candidate database to streamline hiring, implemented recruitment policies to enhance efficiency, and proactively developed talent pipelines aligned with hiring trends and business needs. Conducted in-depth interviews and reference checks to assess candidate suitability, and successfully negotiated offers to secure top talent while balancing cost-effectiveness.

I specialised in end-to-end talent acquisition — from sourcing and screening candidates to managing the offer process and negotiating employment terms. I proactively built and expanded client networks, identified hiring needs through workforce planning, and provided strategic recommendations based on candidate experience, merit, and cultural fit. My role combined recruitment delivery with elements of business development and talent strategy.
