Emily Smith

What client type do you focus on most?

I partner with retained executive search firms, primarily within Professional Services, while also supporting clients in Financial Services, Healthcare, and Technology. With a background in legal search, I bring particular expertise to advisory-driven, specialist environments.

In your opinion, what is the most value you offer to your clients?

I take a pragmatic, consultative approach grounded in research and analysis. I bring structure, insight, and transparency to every search, acting as a credible brand ambassador and thought partner. My clients value the clarity and strategic perspective I bring to their hiring decisions.

What is your biggest achievement outside of work, and how has that shaped your values?

Relocating independently to work across the UK, France, Italy, and the U.S. has been a defining chapter of my life. These experiences taught me to adapt quickly, build trust across cultures, and approach complexity with empathy and focus —principles that now shape how I work with clients and candidates.
