Giles Allen, Consultant

“I joined JCA for the opportunity to work and build my career at the most senior level, working with what I believe to be the best team in executive search.

What strikes me most about the culture at JCA is the balance of professionalism and dedication, coupled with a genuine team spirit and a real enthusiasm and enjoyment for what we do. We truly focus our efforts on doing what is right for the client.

I joined JCA in 2008 after five years at Whitehead Mann covering the Financial Services sector. Previously, I worked for Carbon, a small headhunting firm, where I began my career in search. Prior to that, I worked for the Economist.

I grew up in South Africa and the Middle East, but was educated in Scotland. I graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a degree in International Relations and Spanish, and have a postgraduate MA in Middle East Politics and Arabic from the University of Durham.”
