We are thrilled to announce the appointment of our new Managing Director, Jonathan Swain. Jonathan brings to Audeliss an outstanding track record in executive recruitment. Having had leadership roles focussed around sales and business growth at both Odgers Berndtson and Penna, Jonathan joins us from recently having held Managing Director positions at Capita Professional Recruitment and Veredus. Additionally, Jonathan was the diversity lead for Capita’s resourcing division.
Prior to his career in executive recruitment, Jonathan was responsible for the national delivery of the Audit Commission’s Comprehensive Performance Assessment as well as being its national policy lead for children’s services. As well as serving as Deputy Director at the Cabinet Office, Jonathan has worked for five local authorities in senior roles. He has an MSc in politics from University of London.
Suki Sandhu, CEO & founder comments, “I’m delighted to welcome Jonathan to the Audeliss team. With a brilliant track record for personally winning and delivering Board level campaigns across local government, central government, charities, health, housing and more, Jonathan will add significantly to our track record in the public sector alongside his senior executive recruitment credentials.”
Jonathan has this to say on his new role, “’I have been an admirer of Audeliss for a long time – how through genuinely living and breathing its mission and values, it occupies such a unique and impactful position in the executive recruitment marketplace. In an often grey and traditional recruitment landscape, I am proud and delighted to be joining an innovative business that through its quality diverse and inclusive talent solutions is resetting the dial so successfully. Moreover, with Audeliss’ ambitious plans ahead, it’s truly an exciting time to be able to lead and contribute to our continued growth and success.’
Welcome to the Audeliss team Jonathan.
Our previous Managing Director, Chris Bernard, now steps into her new part-time role at Audeliss as Associate Director, focusing on client and business development. This new role frees up some time for Chris who is looking forward to spending more time with her family. Chris also recently took on a role as a Non-Executive Director of a London university.
This marks an exciting time at Audeliss. In the last few weeks we’ve seen the Audeliss team grow: Jonathan Swain – Managing Director, Samantha Du Toit – Marketing Manager and Charli Maulson – PA to CEO & Founder Suki Sandhu. October will see Suki’s previous PA Sarah-Louise Ambler moving into her new role too so watch this space.
