Background

Verity is passionate about finding clients the very best person to fix the problem. She is also motivated by helping the next-generation of leaders, often diverse, realize their ambitions.

Indeed diversity is a key driver for her and the role it plays in driving value for clients.  This is reflected widely in Hedley May’s events and thought leadership offerings as well as the firm’s network. Verity works alongside clients on search mandates and also advising leadership on succession planning and team assessment.
