Meet Zoe

Principal Consultant

I specialise in senior marketing and digital recruitment across Not for Profit, Education, Membership, Energy and Environment, and Healthcare.

I’ve worked at Stopgap for 15 years, both in the UK and our Sydney office, and before that spent 10 years in digital and direct marketing agencies, so I genuinely understand what great marketing teams look like from the inside.

What I love most is talking to people and the variety of conversations I have each day, and the relationships we build with both candidates and clients over time. I enjoy hearing about candidates’ careers, what motivates them and what makes them tick, then using that insight to match clients with the best person; someone who will fit seamlessly into the team, bring their all to the role, and make a real impact.

Top tip for candidates and/or clients

Be open to change or the unexpected.  I never set out to leave marketing and move into recruitment but it's the best decision I ever made. 

If I Were a Brand I’d Be

Fisher Price. Puts a smile on your face, stands the test of time and lots of fun memories.

Out of Office You’ll Find Me

In a cold and usually wet field watching my sons play rugby and football or at home draped in my two cats, Diego and Fin, reminiscing with my husband about living in Sydney.

It's a bit of a cliche but I actually really like the Meet the Team page.  I love re-reading my colleagues bios and what brands they feel represent them the most.
