Deborah Gray

As an experienced executive search professional, I have led senior and exclusive searches and have been regularly retained for Board level, C-suite and senior search recruitment. My style is to work in partnership with professional services firms at a senior strategic level to develop highly effective and integrated business services teams. My particular focus is on the recruitment of C-suite and Board level professionals: CEOs and COOs, as well as directors and all other business leadership positions. This includes (but is not limited to) the following business functions: Business Development, HR, Risk, Knowledge Management, Innovation, IT, Finance and Shared Services. My career has allowed me to develop a distinct set of skills and experience giving me deep market insight of the professional services sector. Not only do I understand the workings of a law firm from my role at Herbert Smith Freehills, where I spent five years in HR management and recruitment but I also have over 15 years' experience working as an executive search professional for professional services firms of varying sizes in a variety of locations nationally and internationally. I do not believe that ‘one size fits all’ and I am very adept at putting square pegs in round holes….
