Business and IT transformation expert Jackie Edwards has been appointed as a non-executive director of Norrie Johnston Recruitment, the interim management and executive search specialist.
Edwards has led major change programmes within blue-chip financial services brands and high profile regulatory bodies including Barclays Group companies, Cap Gemini Ernst Young and the Financial Services Authority (now the FCA).
“During my 25 years as an interim and a permanent executive I’ve been there and done it,” she said. “I’ve worked at the coal-face of major transformation programmes, I’ve seen the issues facing leaders in organisations undergoing major change and I know the sort of people you need to build a high performing team.
“That’s the kind of insight and experience companies need from their recruitment and executive search firms. They need someone they can talk to – who really ‘gets’ the challenge they face.”
Agency founder, Norrie Johnston added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have Jackie on the board. She has a tremendous market reputation and her experience will be phenomenally powerful for our business and, most importantly, our clients.”
