Priding himself on finding exceptional leadership talent across diverse markets, cultures and regions. He is known for his tenacity, authenticity and rigorous interviewing style.
Ru invests his time in doing what he loves and is best at; building relations, getting to grips with what makes people tick and where they will flourish.
Ru moved to the Atlantic coast near Lisbon, Portugal in 2022 with his wife Kate & 3 young kids after taking the decision to have a family adventure appreciating that as an independent international headhunter, he can work from anywhere.
Helped by the fact it shares a timezone with London, has a fast growth tech scene, 300+ days of sun and some rather good wine, Portugal was an easy choice.
