Beginning as a Recruiter I evolved into the position of MD whereby I led a period of growth for the company from is single office operation in Wellington, NZ, to open offices in Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne and London. A sale of our company into the Vedior Group followed and we rebranded to Sapphire Technologies and expanded the group to include Brisbane through a merger.
