Holly is highly sought after by clients and candidates alike, thanks to nearly 20 years of specialised recruitment experience and a reputation for exceeding expectation. She is known for exceptional industry knowledge, diverse contacts, impeccable service, and for delivering on commercial outcomes with commitment and integrity.

With a foundational start in HR, Holly made a strategic turn into recruitment where she worked with one of the leading global recruitment agencies for eight years. Here she managed a high-volume contract desk in the financial services and investment-banking sector, fast becoming one of the most well connected recruiters in the field. She quickly ascended up the ladder and was regularly recognised as a high-achiever by their global network.

Following this Holly worked in-house for one of Australia’s largest publicly listed brands (Woolworths Supermarkets), sourcing and acquiring talent across all facets of an extremely complex business network. She brought that experience with her back to the world of Agency in 2014, where she has thrived ever since delivering talent outcomes for some of Australia’s biggest corporations like Telstra, NAB and Macquarie Group.

Recognising the value of specialist skills, Holly is now most renowned for recruiting Corporate Affairs and Communications professionals in industry sectors such as Financial Services, Insurance, Infrastructure, Technology and Not-For-Profits. She has led this practice division at Ampersand since 2019.

Holly is built for a fast paced, high service industry. She brings energy, warmth, insight and grit to her clients and her teams. She balances this with a life-long dedication to animal welfare, horse riding, a love of the ocean, and time spent in the great outdoors.
