Simon Alcock

Executive Director Products and Partnerships - S&P Global

“I was introduced to James in 2008 and have had the pleasure of working with him on 2 occasions, most recently in the context of him recruiting me into an exciting new role selling library software. He is a fantastic person to have on your side, whether in the context of hiring him to find the right employee for your company or vice versa. From the start of the process to the finish he demonstrates an overwhelming desire to do his very best for you, in terms of his tireless approach, integrity and discipline. Add this to the knowledge he clearly has of the domain in which he is involved and his professional yet warm personality, and then you have a great individual and a clear market leader who I would highly recommend.”
