Clear Executive Search

After more than two decades in the world of talent acquisition—and over 15 years specialising in the animal feed/technical feed additives industry, I set up two successful recruitment businesses in this field for two other companies. Then in 2022, after 7 years working for other businesses, I decided it was time to shake things up and I launched my own business Clear Executive Search. My journey into this niche world started with five incredible years at ThePoultrySite.com and ThePigSite.com, where I travelled the globe, boots on the ground, learning everything from breeding and genetics right through to feed, health, and processing. It was an immersion into the full farm-to-fork story, and it gave me a deep understanding—and real respect—for the people behind the protein. Let’s be honest; recruitment can sometimes feel like a never-ending loop of CVs and crossed fingers. I knew it could be done better. So, I rolled up my sleeves, brought together my industry know-how, and developed a more focused, strategic approach that truly works. At the heart of Clear Executive Search is a simple belief: the right hire should feel like a perfect fit—not just for the role, but for the people and purpose behind it. That’s why I champion a retained executive search model, backed by a clever bit of tech (hello, Clarity™!) that gives clients real insight and candidates real confidence. When I’m not connecting brilliant people with brilliant companies, you’ll probably find me out in nature, chasing after my dog, or enjoying a strong coffee while working on a client project. Clear by name, clear by nature—that’s how I do business.
